Things to see in Argentina: Iguazu Falls
This magnifi cent array of 275 separate waterfalls stretches for over three kilometres along the border with neighbouring Brazil. The abundant flora and fauna of the surrounding tropical forest includes some 500 species of butterfly, 400 birds and 2,000 plants.
Iguazu ranks alongside Niagara and Victoria Falls as one of the world's great waterfalls. A network of paths and walkways affords fine views - we recommend visiting the national park on the Brazilian side too. There's a remarkable range of vegetation with orchids growing next to pines, bamboo next to palms, and mosses beside lianas and colourful begonias.
