Iguazu Falls is a massive set of more than 270 individual waterfalls that collectively are referred to as Iguazu Falls.

The Iguazu Falls are situated on the border of Argentina and Brazil, who both claim the falls as one of their top tourist destinations. In peak flow the water has a massive surface area of 1.3 million square feet, split over about 270 separate falls. About 80% of the falls are on the Argentina side of the river and many tourists claim the best views are seen from that side.


The falls are on the Iguazu River which boarders Argentina and Brazil and during peak flow, the water surface can exceed 1.3 million square feet. Numerous canyons and cliffs are overran by the river during flood season, and the sight draws millions of tourists.

The most popular waterfall is "Devil's Throat", a chasm that is accessible via a metal walkway and provides excellent views of the water raging over the rock walls and into the river below.
