Iguacu falls

One of the great natural wonders of the world, the Iguacu Falls are situated near the border of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. They are absolutely "deslumbrante." Numerous rocky and wooded islands on the edge of the escarpment over which the Iguaçu River plunges divide the falls into some 275 separate waterfalls or cataracts. The name of the falls comes from the Guarani Indian word meaning "great water."The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
