Iguazu FallsArgentina Iguazu Falls are located 22 kilometers from the exit of the Iguazu River in the Paraná River. At the top of the falls, the river is formed curves of varying widths, having also some small islands.

From Augustine Island, Iguazu River about 1500 meters opens into a large “U” with a steep slope. In this huge curve, emerging islands, elongated islands and reefs that break the Iguazu River into several branches. When they reach the ravine, every island and reef causes a jump, which together form the range of Iguazu Falls.

Among the most important jumping the Iguazu Falls on the Argentina side, we highlight the Alvar Nuñez in the lower circuit walk in the park, the Two Sisters, Bossetti, Chico Alferez and Ramirez, located in the upper circuit and a average height of 40-60 meters, and Lanusse, below the Alvar Nuñez.

A little above the falls are Adam and Eve, and Mbigua Salto San Martín. The leap San Martin, Iguazu Falls, a waterfall is really deafening, which charms visitors with its strength and how that breaks against the rocks to form the second jump. This incredible show ends exceeding 70 meters deep, all with a pretty little drizzle that sometimes, a spectacular rainbow.

Higher still, there are the breaks Two Musketeers, Mitre, El Escondido, Rock, Rivadavia and the amazing Union, which carries the waters of the famous Devil’s Throat.
