# Iguazu Falls, Argentina/Brazil

OK. So, i'm a little embarrassed to admit that i'd never actually heard about these waterfalls until i saw these photos, because they are incredible! Basically, the Iguazu River, which is mostly in Brazil, has this ENORMOUS split separating the river into two halves. According to (the ever reliable) Wikipedia, "the waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7km of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 metres in height." Iguazu is often compared with Southern Africa's Victoria Falls. Iguazu is wider, but because it is split into about 275 discrete falls and large islands, Victoria is the largest curtain of water in the world and is much better known than the Iguazu Falls. But don't be misguided!! The Iguazu Falls have better views and walkways so you can see it a lot better than Victoria Falls. There is even a point where you can stand and be surrounded by 260 degrees of waterfalls! SOLD.
