Five Reasons to Fall for Iguazu
Each moment reveals why this waterfall system captivates the world.
Devil's Throat
The U-shaped heart of the falls, a half-mile wide cascade of 275 individual drops that commands the landscape with raw power.
A Legend Lives On
Star-crossed lovers Naipi and Taroba, trapped in the waterfall for eternity by a jealous deity—their story echoes in the mist.
San Martín Falls & Catwalks
An eco-friendly train carries you to wooden platforms winding through the park, each turn revealing a new perspective of the cascades.
The Jungle Boat Trip
Get soaked in the spray as your boat cuts through the river toward the base of the falls—bring a change of clothes and prepare to be drenched.
Native Creatures
Curious coatis and small monkeys roam freely among visitors, their long snouts and playful nature a delightful reminder of the wild.
Everything You Need
Bathrooms, cafes, and shaded rest areas dot the park—plus sun protection is essential in this warm, humid subtropical climate.
The Name Says It All
Iguazú comes from the indigenous Guaraní words 'y' meaning water and 'usaú' meaning big. Two words that capture everything about what you're witnessing. The falls are made up of 275 individual drops, with water flowing at 62,000 cubic feet per second—a volume so immense it's almost impossible to comprehend standing before it. You feel small here. Humbled by the sheer force and scale of nature.
