Subjects : Continuous series of waterfalls (about 275 jumps side by side) in a horseshoe with a jump of about 80 m and a development of 2.8 km with a range of thousands of cubic meters per second. Around there is a forest with a huge national park. We are on the border of three countries, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Photo from helicopter (80 USD for a round of 12 minutes), I did take pictures and you have to be very quick, will post photos when I have time to set up a portfolio, or by turning around Km-eters of waterfalls along walkways, or by the river with rafts. To do it right it takes 2 days. Then 450 species of birds, butterflies, and other animals.

Recommended equipment : All the equipment in particular for the landscape. The falls are considered among the 7 wonders of the world.

Best months : Spring (October, November) when the flow is the right one (you can see the vapor from the forest 30 km giugendo by plane from Buenos Aires). If you go right after the rainy season, the flow rate is too large and vapors prevent the view and of course the pictures.

How to get there : There is an airport in Puerto Iguazu (but not on the sea), a few kilometers from the waterfalls. I got there from Buenos Aires. The falls are mainly in Argentina but you can see (horseshoe-shaped elongated) well from Brazil including the helicopter ride (the base is in Brazil). It is therefore necessary to cross the border. For those who want to make good the visit takes at least 2 days or even 3.

Visits : as mentioned above waterfalls in all the sauces and surrounding natural park. In the area there are also mines of beautiful stones. There are some nice shops in Puerto Iguazu but expensive. you can go in the shops at the mines and see them as well as the extraction you can buy a souvenir at a better price dealing with.

Notes : Simply perhaps the most impressive thing I've seen around the world. For me, having the ten that were given to other sites I'd give it to Iguazu 12.
