Our Visit to Iguazu Falls Argentina, Puerto Iguazu, Argentina

Iguazu Falls in Argentina borders the countries of Brazil and Paraguay. The Iguazu Falls divide the Iguazu River into two levels – the upper and the lower. The word Iguazu comes from two words meaning ‘big and water’. There are over 275 waterfalls ranging from a height of 269 feet to 197 feet, the average being 210 feet. In 2011 Iguazu Falls became one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Two thirds of the falls are located on the Argentinean side, and we recommend that you spend at least two days visiting this side.
