Iguazu Falls, one of the most spectacular waterfalls of the world is situated right in the middle of a subtropical rainforest. This area is protected by the Iguazu Falls National Park.
The Park comprises a series of 275 waterfalls at the heart of the Paranaense Rainforest, located 17 kilometres from the Paran River, where the Argentine, Brazil and Paraguay borders meet. The Iguazu river flows 1320 kilometres before draining into the Paran. The rainforest surrounding the Park is home to over 2,000 species of vascular plants and animals like giant anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots and caymans.
The Park protects several threatened species including the jaguar, jaguarondi and South American tapir. It has a great variety of birds and butterflies too.
