Everyone should see this New Wonder of the World at least once in their life. Powerful streams of water, the “devil’s throat”, local fauna, unforgettable experiences - all this is available to a traveler who goes to Iguazu Falls. The answer to the question: “Where to go to the waterfalls?” - is obvious and cannot be discussed.
The most beautiful waterfalls are located on the territory of two countries - Argentina and Brazil. Therefore, tours to the waterfalls are carried out from the main cities of these countries. For example, to visit this immense beauty from Brazil, head to Foz do Iguaçu Airport. A how to see waterfalls from Argentina? It's also very simple. For example, fly from the capital of the country, Buenos Aires, to the city of Puerto Iguazu. Buying air tickets will not be difficult, as this is a fairly popular place among tourists. However, it is worth choosing the period of the Brazilian and Argentine winter, then there is a chance to save a lot of money. But traveling during school holidays or major holidays can cost a pretty penny.
Basically, many tourists make a quick, but believe me, incredible trip to the most powerful waterfalls in the world. And that is exactly what Iguazu are. Therefore, the plan of an ordinary traveler is to arrive in the morning, visit the national park where the wonder of the world is located, and return back in the evening. But spending a few days in solitude with nature will be beneficial. Book your hotel any star rating - and now you are relaxing very close to the most famous waterfalls in South America. A selection of hotels is possible to suit every taste and budget.
The entrance fee to the national park is approximately $20 per person. And don’t regret buying tickets for an additional excursion - it’s definitely worth it. It will cost $77 per person.
Since our school days, many of us remember that the tallest waterfall in the world is Angel, the largest in terms of the amount of water carried in the world - the famous Niagara, few people know that the highest waterfall in Europe is located in Norway - Vinnufossen. But Iguazu Falls are one of the widest waterfalls in the world. Therefore, it is worth setting aside a lot of time for a walk along the cascade.
The visit to the national park itself is a walk through the Atlantic Forest. Tourists are immediately taken by bus to the stop closest to the trail. Already on the right you can see waterfalls, and on the left - a huge pink hotel-palace. Of course, the prices there are not the most budget-friendly, but if possible, be sure to stay there.
The famous “Devil's Throat” is an arc of cascading waterfalls. This is where the most impressive part is located. This is where you get the most beautiful photos. The rest of the journey is a path of steps down, which lead to the very “heart” - this very arc. This road allows you to look at the entire cascade, see the side of another country, admire it from different angles and even get to know the inhabitants of the park. Namely: lizards, butterflies, parrots, hummingbirds and quati - mammals from the raccoon family.
The highlight of the optional excursion is a boat ride close to one of the waterfalls. Here, not only emotions overflow, but also splashes of water. Powerful streams envelop you like a veil; nothing but smog is visible before your eyes. Impressions cannot be conveyed, but they must be felt. Moreover, it is very easy to book a tour to visit the waterfalls from a tour operator. But it is almost impossible to forget the emotions from Iguazu.
