From the article: Iguazu Falls
Iguazu Falls is one of the top destinations in South America. Taller than Niagara Falls, the water level rises and falls with the season, but the spectacular Devil's Throat with its high flying plume of spray is always a thrill.

The falls are part of a practically virgin jungle ecosystem protected by Argentine and Brazilian national parks on either side of the cascades. Two thirds of the falls are on the Argentinian side of the river where you can also tour Iguazú National Park where there are jungle trails and bird hikes.

Iguazu Falls

The sheer scale of the Falls are their most impressive feature: their total area is 1.68 miles wide, encompassing 275 distinct falls, which cataract 65 feet farther down than those at Niagara!
