IGUACU FALLS

In 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.

Hotel Tropical das Cataratas

The only hotel within the National Park boundary, its pleasing colonial design and location right next to the falls make it our firm favourite: there is also a wide selection of other good hotels in the nearby town of Foz.
