Spanning the border between Argentina and Brazil Iguazu Falls is made up of many cascades producing vast sprays of water. The falls are located where the Iguazu River tumbles over the edge of the Paraná Plateau and is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world.
The site consists of the national park and national reserves in Misiones Province, north-eastern Argentina. The Iguazú River forms the northern boundary of both the reserves and park, and also the southern boundary of Iguaçu National Park World Heritage site in Brazil.
Numerous islands along the 2.7 km long (1.7 mi) edge divide the falls into numerous separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying between 60 to 82 metres (197 to 269 ft) high. The number of these smaller waterfalls fluctuates from 150 to 300, depending on the water level.
Although I visited the falls in summer I wasn't blessed with good weather but the overcast sky compliments the unique atmosphere created by the power of the falls and the jungle setting. Iguazu definitely has a 'Jurassic Park' feel and you can easily imagine giant dinosaurs roaming the subtropical rainforest and Pterodactylus circling in the skies above.
