Some things are impossible to describe with words or photographs; Iguazu is one of them. The are so big, powerful, spectacualar, thundering, manyfold, mysterious, majestic and awesome that words or images can only attempt to capture a glimpse of what a visitor can percieve standing at its edge. I will try nevertheless.

Iguazu is not one single waterflall but a system consisting of about 270 falls along 2.7 kilometres of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 metres in height. The highlight of the falls is the Garganta del Diablo or Devil's Throat, a U-shaped 150-metre-wide and 700-metre-long cliff and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil.
