Iguaçu Falls

275 waterfalls across two countries

Why Iguaçu Falls

Iguaçu is not one waterfall but a thunderous arc of around 275 of them, taller and far wider than Niagara, set in subtropical rainforest on the Brazil–Argentina border. The name means 'big water' in Guaraní — an understatement.

We help you do it right: the sweeping Brazilian-side panorama, the immersive Argentine-side trails to the Devil's Throat, and the wildlife and dams nearby — at the pace that suits you.

  • The Brazilian sideA panoramic boardwalk that puts the whole arc of falls in front of you.
  • Devil's ThroatThe colossal U-shaped cataract on the Argentine side — pure power.
  • Coatis & toucansCheeky coatis (don't feed them) and rainforest birdlife along the trails.
  • Parque das AvesA walk-through bird park beside the Brazilian entrance.
  • Itaipu DamOne of the world's largest hydroelectric dams, nearby.
  • The triple frontierWhere Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet across the rivers.
