Iguazú Riveror Iguaçu RiverRiver, southern Brazil and northeastern Argentina. It winds westward for 820 mi (1,320 km) before joining the Paraná River at the point where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet. Although sections of the river are navigable, it is known chiefly for the scenic Iguazú Falls. Near the falls a major portion of the river tumbles into a chasm called the Garganta del Diablo (“Devil's Throat”), which has been described as “an ocean plunging into an abyss.” Want to thank TFD for its existence?

They provide a panoramic backdrop to the tropical rainforest region, with an average of 553 cubic feet of water per second from the Iguazu River thundering some 269 feet over the falls and then draining into the Parana. Their flight made the god so angry that he sliced the Iguazu River in two, condemning the human lovers to a dreadful fate - she as a stone; he as a palm tree forever bent over his lover's watery grave. |
