The Iguaçu National Park (Parque Nacional do Iguaçu) was added to the list of World Heritage Sites in 1989. In 1999, the park was placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger when word of an illegal road was being built through the middle of the park splitting it into two.

The park shares with Iguazú National Park in Argentina one of the world’s largest and most impressive waterfalls, extending over some 2,700 m.

The clouds of spray produced by the waterfall are conducive to the growth of lush vegetation.
