Iguazu Falls

The Devil's Throat at Iguazu Falls, seen from the end of the Argentine walkway that crosses the upper river. This is the largest and most powerful section of the system, a horseshoe where the Iguazu drops about 80 m into a narrow gorge, and standing at its rim means getting soaked by the updraft. Iguazu is not one fall but a chain of more than 275 stretching nearly 2 miles across the Argentina and Brazil border. About 80 percent sit on the Argentine side, which has the walkways at upper and lower levels; give the Brazilian side a second day for the wide panorama.
