Iguazu Falls, located on the Border of Brazil and Argentina, is comprised of about 275 individual drops and the view is one of a kind for those with an appreciation for Earth’s power and magnitude. Meaning ‘Big Water’ in the native tongue, Iguazu Falls was officially discovered in 1541 and has served as a promising site for tourism ever since. Most notable for sightseers would be the famously termed ‘Devil’s Throat,’ a cliff at Iguazu Falls spanning 492 feet wide and 269 feet tall. Conventional means of visiting the falls are by bus and special walkways or by helicopter. South America certainly has a lot to offer all kinds of visitors from thrill seekers to artists and nature lovers. Dive into your next adventure now.
