Iguazú Falls - Visit One of the New Seven Natural Wonders

One of the most famous waterfalls in the world is probably the Niagara Falls, surely impressive, but get ready to dive into a subtropical paradise and explore the largest waterfall system in the world!
From general information on how to get there, where to stay, when and how to visit, to what to do, my comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know to have an unforgettable experience visiting one of the New Seven Natural Wonders.
The falls have been a filming location for several Hollywood movies and should be on top of your to do list when visiting this part of South America. This jaw-dropping sight will leave you speechless.
I've visited the falls twice already and they still are the most impressive waterfalls I have ever seen and it's one of the most beautiful places I have visited.

In this complementary guide you will be based in Puerto Iguazú, the Argentine side of the falls but I will also cover the Brazilian side to give you an overview on both.
OVERVIEW
📍Location
The Iguazú Falls are located in Argentina (province of Misiones) and Brazil (state of Paraná), forming a natural border with 80 % of the falls being located on the Argentine side and 20 % on the Brazilian side.
📏Size
The Iguazú Falls are huge. In fact, they are the widest waterfalls in the world, spanning 2.7 km and are made up of 275 individual waterfalls. In the indigenous Guarani language "Iguazú" means big water.
The most famous part of the falls is the "Devil's Throat", "Garganta del Diablo", which measures a width of 150 meters and its powerful U-shaped cascade plunges about 82 meters into the gorge.

Hi everyone 👋🏻
I'm Sarah from Germany and my biggest passion is everything related to travel. I not only LOVE to organize my own travels but also help others make travelling and especially planning easier. Below you can find some facts about me to get to know me a little better 😊
🌏 I'm backpacking solo around the world since 2017, exploring new places and cultures. I love to travel off the beaten path as I think this is the best way to experience local life and discover places away from mass tourism.
🗻 I've lived in New Zealand for almost 3 years, exploring this beautiful country in my van and I've also lived in Australia and Uruguay for one year each.
🥥 I always try to spend as much time as possible in one country to be able to explore it thoroughly. The first thing I usually do is wandering the streets to get a feel for the place, visiting local markets and also trying all the food.
🏞️🏝️ I love the outdoors, hiking, chasing waterfalls, driving around with the scooter, scuba diving and snorkeling.
