Iguazu Falls
South American torrent
Iguazu Falls is a massive waterfall system on the border between Argentina and Brazil, where the Iguazu River plunges over a basalt plateau in nearly 300 separate cascades.
One of the world's largest waterfalls by volume and width, it sits within protected national parks on both sides.
The centerpiece is the Devil's Throat, a U-shaped chasm where water drops into perpetual mist.
