Iguazu Falls (Argentina Side)
Ideal: Ideal for nature, waterfalls, hiking, photography, and South America's most impressive natural wonders.
The Argentina side of Iguazu Falls is the Argentine face of the waterfall system on the Brazil border, famous for walkways that let you walk among the cascades. The Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diabo) platform brings you close to the falls' most powerful point; lower and upper circuits reach many of the 275 falls from different angles. Surrounded by tropical rainforest, caimans, toucans, and wildlife, this UNESCO site is Argentina's most visited nature destination.
