The Great Iguazu Falls National Park, Paraná
![]() Iguazu (big water in Tupi Guarani Indian language) When Eleanor Roosevelt saw Iguazu Falls, she said “poor Niagra” and with good reason. Not only does the sound and sight of the water crashing down between the borders of Brazil and Argentina instill awe, the tropical setting ratchets up the experience. The butterflies alone would merit a visit. The park itself encompasses five distinct types of forest and biosystems, including colorful birds and exotic animals. The falls stretch for 1.67 miles on the Iguazu River and on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, national parks provide an excellent infrastructure, including trails, transportation, vistas and English speaking guides who can help you profit from the visit. (No visa is needed to visit the Argentine falls.) But we are almost forgetting something that you will find unforgettable—the climbing. And it’s right there by the side of the falls, over forty routes grading at 5.11 max.Talk about peak experience—the sound of the pounding water, the continuing mist, the dazzling plants and butterflies. And when that is done, you have the options of waterfall rappelling, rafting, or a helicopter trip over the falls.
