Iguazu Falls

4.8/5

Iguazu Falls is located on the Iguazu River at the border between Argentina and Brazil. The word "Iguazu" comes from the language of the Guarani, an indigenous people of South America, and means "huge water." The falls consist of hundreds of waterfalls of varying sizes, cascading down a nearly 3,000 m wide arc-shaped cliff, creating a magnificent sight. In 1984, Iguazu National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List. The falls' iconic view is the "Devil's Throat"—a U-shaped chasm where nearly half of the river's water converges, plunging from a height of over 80 m with a roar like muffled thunder, sending mist dozens of meters into the air, and on clear days rainbows often hang above the curtain of mist. The formation of the falls is closely related to ancient basalt geology; basalt layers formed by volcanic eruptions approx. 100 million years ago were carved and eroded by the Iguazu River over the long ages, creating the layered scenery. In the 1540s, Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca crossed the rainforest and recorded the falls, introducing them to Europe. The falls are distributed on both sides of the gorge, with Argentina and Brazil each occupying one side, offering distinct viewing experiences. The Argentine side has two routes, upper and lower: the upper route looks down from above at the tumbling, cascading falls, while the lower route winds through dense forest, allowing visitors to experience each section of the falls up close, with a new view at every step; the Brazilian side is ideal for panoramic views, where the main falls on the Argentine side can be seen as a whole, and the park is also home to many wild animals. Visitors can also take speedboats into the mist below the falls to feel the thrill of the water up close. The falls are located in a subtropical region with abundant water year-round, and the water views are even better during the rainy season.Argentina · Iguazu

If the weather is good, there will be many rainbows🌈, and the scenery is beautiful. Especially at the Devil's Throat attraction, there will be rainbows crossing above, below, left and right🌈, and people will walk in the rainbow🌈🌈.

The shock of Iguazu National Park is beyond expectation! Standing on the observation deck on the Brazilian side, 275 waterfalls pour down like the Milky Way, the roar of the "Devil's Throat" is deafening, and the mist and rainbows come to your face. The plank road on the Argentine side goes deep into the waterfalls. When you rush into the water curtain by boat, you will feel the wild power of nature when your body is soaked by the majestic water. The howler monkeys and blue-violet macaws shuttle through the tropical rainforest, and the waterfalls together form a three-dimensional ecological picture. It is recommended to reserve two days, take a helicopter to overlook the horseshoe-shaped panoramic view in the morning, and watch the sound and light show on the Brazilian side in the evening, so that your vision and hearing are immersed in this earth-class wonder.

This building, which has been completed for more than a hundred years, is known as one of the most important lyric opera houses in the world, on par with La Scala in Milan, Opéra Garnier in Paris and the Royal Opera House in London. Many great orchestra conductors who have performed here have said that the Cologne Theater is the best lyric opera house in the world. The horseshoe-shaped hall achieves a perfect echo effect, and the three-story boxes are made of soft materials such as fabric, wood and carpet to achieve the best sound absorption effect.

we can visit the park by both coach and train in different areas. sitting on the train, we can appreciate the beautiful sceneries and get off in several picture taking points. I visited early Nov and late Nov. mountains carry more snow on the top early Nov and are beautiful during sunny day.

We purchased the option for the VIP only show which gave us great seats and what seemed to be unlimited drinks, plus a couple of bites to eat. The show was centrally located which meant we could walk to and from our hotel, saving time on transportation. The show was well choreographed and had some excellent dancers. The passion, athleticism and skill of the dancers was evident throughout the show. It was a very well choreographed dance but also a fantastic show and definitely a must see while in Buenos Aires.

La Boca is a very vibrant and colorful area in Buenos Aires. it is an area with colorful houses, shops and restaurants. be sure to go during the day and do not wear fancy clothing or jewelries and not to cross over to Baraccas due to safety reason. otherwise it is a nice stroll and walk through city.

The Obelisk of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is located in the heart of the entire city, that is, the center of the city. It is still very commemorative. If you are interested in history, don't miss it here

Bringing children to experience bamboo weaving is totally worth it. The teachers are local artisans with decades of experience and are incredibly patient with the kids. They teach them step by step, from splitting bamboo strips to weaving patterns, without being perfunctory just because they are children. My child wove a small bamboo basket by themselves and was very proud when they came out carrying it. Sitting there for an afternoon, without having to think about anything, was so comfortable.

Los Glaciares National Park: Located in southern Argentina, it belongs to the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina in the Patagonia Plateau. The glacial lake where the glacier park is located is called Lake Argentina, and the most famous of them is the Moreno Glacier. It is famous for being one of the few glaciers in the world that is still "alive". You can see the wonder of ice avalanches here every day. In 1945, Argentina listed this place as a national park for protection, and in 1981 it was listed as a United Nations World Natural Heritage.
