Iguazu National Park

A truly breathtaking spectacle opens up to those in Iguazu National Park. The dense jungle, as if descended from the pages of Rudyard Kipling’s books, is replaced by cascades of waterfalls, of which there are 275 in the park. Its territory covers 67 thousand hectares and, together with its Brazilian neighbor of the same name, located on the opposite Iguazu River, is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Iguazu Park was founded in 1934. Thus, the leadership of Argentina wanted to preserve one of the wonderful places of the planet - Iguazu Falls. Just imagine: deep in the subtropical forests hides a huge waterfall, its noise can be compared with several simultaneously taking off aircraft. Water flows fall down from an 80-meter height, flying to the sides in millions of splashes. The waterfall stretched for almost three kilometers. This unique natural phenomenon could not remain without its special, a little magical history. According to legend, Iguazu Falls was created by God. He wanted to marry an Aboriginal woman, but she was wayward and ran away from her fiancé by river in a canoe. God was angry and cut the river in two.

Of course, Iguazu Falls is the most striking attraction of the park. However, there are still many interesting things to be found on its territory. There are 70 species of mammals, more than 400 species of birds and 40 species of reptiles. Hundreds of butterflies live on flowers and trees, including very rare ones. Among the animals of the park, the most common are jaguar, mazam deer, tapir, ocelot, giant anteater, puma and others.

The air is cut by swifts and hummingbirds.

The park is permeated with many trails, bridges, special platforms that give you the opportunity to enjoy near unforgettable waterfalls. You can get to pedestrian routes on small ecotrains starting at the entrance to the park.
