Introduction

Iguazú National Park in Argentina's Misiones province, together with its Brazilian counterpart, protects the Iguazú Falls, a natural World Heritage site. Within the park, 275 separate drops plunge through subtropical rainforest, the most spectacular being the Devil's Throat, a U-shaped wall of water roaring into the abyss; boardwalks wind through verdant vegetation where coatí often scurry past. A paradise for falls-viewing, birdwatching and rainforest ecology, a little train carries you to the very brink of the main cataract. Rich in biodiversity, guided walks reveal the frogs and butterflies of the falls' rainforest.
