Iguacu and the SouthIGUACU FALLSIn our opinion the most impressive falls in the world, Iguacu is not one but a full series of cascades. Shared by Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, the falls stretch a good distance along the Rio Iguacu, along which boat rides can be taken (you will get very wet). On the Brazilian side, one walks through woodland to various viewpoints. On the Argentine side, ride a small train before crossing a long walkway across shallows to the amazing Devil’s Throat cataract with its thunderous drop into the river far below. THE FAR SOUTHThe coolest and most European-influenced part of Brazil, the far south is best known in natural history terms for its wonderful whale-watching and wild Atlantic coast. Praia do RosaBlessed with over a mile of beach and a laid back atmosphere, Praia do Rosa is one of the best places in Brazil for whale watching. Between the months of July and November dozens of southern right whales come here to breed and can be seen from the shore or on special boat trips. Further south, the colonial town of Laguna is home to a remarkable traditional spectacle wherein dolphins help herd fish into local fishermen’s nets.
