Eighteen kilometres from Puerto Iguazú we enter to the National Park of the same name where the famous cataracts are. The deep flowing waters of the river fall from a height of 70 metres through 275 falls over 2.7 Km. The frontier with Brazil goes through the Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat) where the falling water gives the illusion of magic rainbows.
The National Park is full of the exotic subtropical vegetation which surrounds the falls and has 2.000 plant species - gigantic trees, ferns, lianas, orchids, - 400 bird species - parrots, colibríes, toucans - jaguars and yacarés (caimans).
