Iguazú Falls

Pros: Incredible --- the power and majesty of nature --- incredible!
Cons: ---

Iguacu means "mighty waters" in the language of the Guarani people who inhabited this area before European settlers arrived in the mid 16th century. When Spanish explorer Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca discovered the falls in 1542, he wanted to call them Santa ...

Pros: Once in a lifetime views of the most spectacular waterfalls on Earth
Cons: Remote, relatively expensive to visit, very hot in summer months

Iguazu Falls, an enormous complex of waterfalls on the Iguazu River near its confluence with the Parana River, lies amid the dense rain forest at the boundaries of Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina. Both Brazil and Argentina maintain national parks around ...

Pros: Incredible scenery .....

Note: This review is written from a Mother's point of view .... Therefore, I mention several times throughout the review the importance of safety. This does, by no means, take from...

Pros: Probably the pretiest rapidly descending liquid in the world.
Cons: Hot, wet and full of bugs.

Getting to Las cataratas / Foz Do Iguacu / Puerto Iguacu / Cuidad Del Este (delete as applicable) is really not that difficult to do once you've worked out that all the above are the same place depending on which one of the 3 countries you're flying in fr ...

Pros: One of the most beautiful places in the world.
Cons: Slow reactions leads to wet camcorders.

The Iguazu Falls ranks as one of South America foremost attractions. It's easy to see why after spending a day there, you will be spellbound. The Falls are situated in one of Argentina's best National Parks, Parque Nacional Iguazu in the north east of...

Pros: A must see when visiting Brazil or Argentina.
Cons: None!

We recently visited Iguacu Falls over the New Years (2004) holiday. We spent just under 2 weeks in Brazil - one week in Rio and the rest in Iguacu. We were really happy to get to Iguacu as well since when we left Rio it was raining. Upon planning ...

Pros: Absolutely beautiful, extremely relaxing, the walkways are built such that you feel like you are "in" the Falls
Cons: Not close to any major city so plan on taking a bus or some form of motor transportation to get there

I feel extremely fortunate to have had quite a few valuable opportunities to travel, but by far the most beautiful place I have ever visited has been Iguazu Falls.

During my seven-week stay in Argentina, I booked a five-day tour through a...

Pros: BEAUTIFUL
Cons: nothing

I have traveled to Brazil for three years on mission work. I will have to say that the best year was the year I went to see the Iquacu Falls. You are so shocked by them when you first see them. They are so pretty and big.

Our group had...

Pros: Incredible beauty, impressive falls, great weather
Cons: None

Iguazu Falls is located on the Rio Iguazu along the Brazilian /Argentinean border close to Paraguay. I took a weekend trip with a friend from work and flew down via Sao Paulo. There are airports called Iguazu Falls in both countries, but you can reach...

Pros: Sunny days, falling water, rafting into the mouth of the devil
Cons: Only good for one day, Brazil side is cheaper to stay in

I’m not a waterfall freak (I’ve met them, and they’re a bit odd) but Iguazu was a great trip, but probably not worth changing all your plans to go see. Since there are few things to do in the area I don’t think it was so great that you HAD to change...

Pros: Spectacular scenery
Cons: Extreme heat in summer

I visited Iguazú Falls in October 2000, taking a bus tour there from central Argentina. The tour was for all ages, and I traveled with three other students who I knew. We were the only foreigners on the trip and among the younger people in our group....

Pros: So Beautiful it Hurts
Cons: None

People disagree on whether the Brazilian or Argentine side is the best to look at the Iguazu Falls. If you want to get a good look at the most of the Waterfalls at once, you will probably like the Brazilian side. If you want to get closer to the water...

Pros: -Spectacular Falls -Not as expensive as Buenos Aires
Cons: -Getting there is a little out of the way

I visited the falls at the end of an Argentina Tour I went on with friends from school. This is a destination you must visit whilst in Argentina/Brazil/Paraguy and even South America. We travelled there and back with a 2hr flight from Buenos Aires,...

Pros: This really is one of the scenic wonders of the world.
Cons: Its a long way from anywhere, and relatively expensive.

I visited Foz do Igauzu in August 2001. We arrived late in the evening and had to leave the next day mid afternoon (as part of a Commercial Trade Mission), but that still allowed for a great experience.

We stayed at the Hotel Tropical do...

Pros: everything
Cons: always drink bottled water, bugs
