I visited Iguazu Falls in 2007 for the first time, during a backpacking trip through Argentina and Uruguay. Now, 10 years later, it’s time for a second visit. During our few months in Buenos Aires, I flew to Puerto Iguazo to admire this natural wonder for the second time. As far as I am concerned, Argentina is among one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and almost nothing I can remember as vividly as the Iguazu falls. And this particular natural wonder was something I wanted to experience again. I was a little bit afraid it would be less spectacular the second time around. But of course: nothing was further from the truth. Today I take you to both the Brazilian and Argentine sides of Iguazu Falls, introduce you to an extraordinary natural phenomenon and give you many travel tips for Iguazu.<\/p>\n

The Iguazu Falls are the largest waterfalls in South America<\/strong> and are located on the border of Argentina and Brazil<\/strong>. The entire complex consists of 270 to 300 waterfalls<\/strong>, depending on the amount of water flowing through the river, is up to 82 meters high and covers a total of 2.7 kilometers, including many small islands.<\/p>\n Iguazu Falls are among the largest in the world, but Victoria Falls just barely wins out. The Niagara Falls on the border of the U.S. and Canada are less than a kilometer wide between them, making them smaller. Iguazu Falls are certainly very accessible compared to Victoria Falls, and thus easy to visit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
