It
is the region of Argentina where nature reveals
itself in its most exuberant form. In an imposing
setting formed by immense trees that arise
from a red land and its extraordinary flora
and fauna, large rivers make their way slowly
among the virgin forest until they overflow
forming one of the wonders of the world, the
magnificent “Cataratas de Iguazu”
(the Iguazú Falls). It is a wild land
of subtropical forests and extensive swamps
where alligators, jaguars and all kinds of
exotic birds hide.

Inside
the Iguazú National Park you find the
famous Iguazú Falls. Because of their
stunning beauty the UNESCO declared them Natural
Patrimony of Humanity in 1984. There, the
river Iguazú throws its enormous volume
of water from a height of 70 meters, with
275 leaps and a width of 2700 meters all within
a framework of an impenetrable humid forest
with an ecosystem that harbours thousands
of species of plants and animal.
