The
"Great Waters" Rain Forest |
 |
|
|
|
| A
trip through the rain forest between the Paraná and Uruguay
rivers, inaccessible for the white man for centuries, is today
an authentic earthly paradise to delight the visitor. At the
confluence of the Iguazú river and the deep flowing Paraná,
Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay converge. This area is known
as the "Hito de las Tres Fronteras". |

| There
are nearly three kilometres of waterfalls at Iguazú Falls. Vision
is lost, the endless tumbling of the waters stuns, the walks,
moistened by mist or soaked by the splash of the falls against
the pools and rocks. This National Park is home to more than
2100 plant species and 400 bird species. The waters flowing
over the 275 different falls, descend from a height of 70 meters
(214 ft.). |

Jesuit
Ruins: Close to Posadas you came to the ruins of The Jesuit
Missions where the San Ignacio Mini is the most outstanding
example, declared as part of Humanity's Heritage by UNESCO.
Near the ruins you can spend some time in the semiprecious stone
field of Wanda.
Ibera Marshlands: At this enormous geological depression,
made up by lagoons, marshlands and pools, you will see birds,
turtles, caimans, swamp deer, capybaras as well as a large variety
of bird species and flora.
Other waterfalls: There are at least another thirty falls
in the area, being the most important ones the Mocona Falls. |

We recommend you to spend at least 3 days at Iguazú. However
if you have more time we suggest you to spend a few more days
in order to visit the Jesuit Ruins. Also don't miss the "Jungle
Explorer" excursion. |
