Iguazu Falls, Argentina

Iguazu Falls Argentina waterfalls most visited place

Iguazu Falls are the waterfalls of river Iguazu. It is situated in the border of Argentina & Paraná (state of Brazil). Around 1900 meters of the Iguazu waterfall is in Argentine side and around 800 meters is in Brazilian side. Its name is been derived from Guarani or tupi words which means "Water". It is undoubtedly the most visited place in Argentina. It is four times wider than the width of Niagra Falls.

There is a myth about this waterfall. A legend said that a snake named "Boi" used to live there in the river. To make him calm or to calm its brutality, the people of ancient times sacrified a woman every year as an offering. One day a brave guy saved a woman from that cruel snake and snake got so angered that it bent its body and split the river seperating the man & woman.

There are more than 250 falls in the area. There are two basic paths i.e. upper path & lower path. In the upper path, you can walk over a bridge and take a scenic view of the wall but in the lower path, you can go to the base of fall which is friggin adventurous. I would suggest you to take lower path if you are daring enough.

You can also experience wild adventure highly ranging from mammals, reptiles, insects, fish etc. You can take a boat ride as well to experience it better.

Best time would be March, April, August, September.

We didn't had our jackets, caps and all (what we had was a pair of shirts and jeans). At around 5pm we reached the top by trek around 12 kms after what we can't think of going further as there was snow blanket on the whole field and there was no way of going further. But still we tried and we started walk on the snow blanket. The way was like too slippery and at that time if anyone could get dis balanced then he would have fallen from the cliff and there was nothing to grip on. After giving so much try, 6 of us denied to take risk and go further but 2 braverily does that and they went at the top by walking on the snow.
