The
famous waterfalls of Iguassu are near the three point's
border with Argentina and Paraguay. The Iguassu River
determines the border between Brazil and Argentina.
Some 20 km before flowing into the Paraná River
(which is the border between Brazil and Paraguay), the
Iguassu crashes over 80 meter high cliffs in a spectacular
waterfall, larger, higher and more imposing than Niagara,
for instance.
The Iguassu Falls are one of nature's most spectacular
wonders. The roar of the falls can be overheard kilometers
away from the site.
The
starting point for the excursions is the town of Foz
do Iguassu ("Foz" means opening or mouth of the river)
which on account of the waterfalls has become one of
the most visited places in the world. About 8 km North
of Foz do Iguassu is the world's largest hydroelectric
plant, Itaipu, which was built as a joint project by
Brazil and Paraguay. Nearby, down in Argentina or in
Paraguay, ruins of Jesuitic Missions remind us of the
early century of the country, when indian pagan tribes
were still owners of their land and the priests wanted
to convert them to their God.
Some
of the available tours and/or shore excursions:
IGU-1, Half Day Brazilian Side
IGU-2, Half Day Argentinean Side
IGU-3, Full Day Brazilian & Argentinean side with Lunch
In addition to these regular
