Iguazu Falls
November 6th, 2009 by Travel
On the border of Brazil and Argentina there is a series of waterfalls that goes on and on and on, with two hundred and seventy falls that are along the Iguazu River for a mile and a half, with falls that are as high as eighty two meters, and many more around sixty four meters. The tallest of the falls is the Garganta del Diablo, which is in a horseshoe shape that is one hundred fifty meters wide and seven hundred meters long.
The falls are one of the most complex systems of waterfalls in the world and attract many tourists each year. The falls here are much larger than Niagara Falls and only one other comes close to this, and that is in Africa (Victoria Falls). Many tourist come out every year at all times of the year to see the falls, although recently a drought has restricted the waterfall, so it is recommended to visit during the rainy seasons.
