Consecrated among the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, Iguazú Falls are the most visited natural attraction and one of the most impressive in Argentina and the world.

One of the planet’s most awe-inspiring sights, the Iguazú Falls are simply astounding. A visit is a jaw-dropping, visceral experience, and the power and noise of the cascades – a chain of hundreds of waterfalls nearly 3km in extension – live forever in the memory. An added benefit is the setting: the falls lie split between Brazil and Argentina in a large expanse of national park, much of it rainforest teeming with unique flora and fauna.

One of several legends tells of the existence of a giant snake, "Boi", which lived inside the river. To appease their ferocity, the aborigines sacrificed a lady once a year, throwing her into the waters as an offering to the beast. On one of these occasions, a brave Guarani kidnapped the chosen maiden, to save her from the traditional ritual, escaping with her in a canoe on the river. Upon learning of the audacity, Boi went into a rage and, hunched over his back, split the course of the river, thus creating the falls and thus separating the two indigenous people.
