Iguazu Falls

It is the great attraction for those who visit Misiones, within the protected area of two national parks. Subtropical rainforest and moist vegetation protects the planet´s largest biodiversity. The entrance to the park on the Argentine side is 17 km from Puerto Iguazu. However, the walk already starts from the beginning of the tour, leaving the city by car. The Falls, visited by millions of tourists, are World Heritage Sites. The Iguazu River runs mostly brazilian territory, until the big water jumps shared by both countries are formed, and then flows into the Paraná River. If you want to visit the Falls on the Brazilian side and get incredible panoramic views with a great approach to the Devi´s Gorge, it will be necessary to do the migration procedures on the border with ID or passport.
