Due to its width and the number of individual parts, Iguazu Falls are the largest waterfall system on earth. At the same time, they are considered the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. You can see them from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. You will have a much different experience each time. The Brazilian side is considered more beautiful – you can see the waterfalls pretty panoramic. The Argentine side is again larger for excursions and the waterfalls are pretty close. This article describes the Brazilian side of Iguazu.

The first monumental view of Iguazú

After standing in the Brazilian visitor center, you can finally take a long line of tickets and then take a bus that will take you to the beginning of the excursion circuits (approx. 10 km of jungles) along a scenic trail. At the very bottom you will find an amazing panoramic view of the „smaller“ part of the two main parts of the Iguazú waterfalls. From here you can see the observation decks on the Argentine side and the ferry to the island of San Martin.

View of the island of San Martin

The scenic path is amazing – after a while you can see the jungle-covered island of San Martin. What may spoil your impression a bit are the huge crowds, which are significantly larger than on the Argentine side of the waterfalls.

Hundreds of waterfalls

Elsewhere, the individual parts of Iguazu would be listed as beautiful waterfalls, here it is only an insignificant part of the monumental whole.

The second cascade with a rainbow

The scenic path continues to another beautiful cascade. There is definitely no shortage of rainbow here. You will no longer see this part from the Argentine side.

Boat trips

In addition to the classic walks around the views of the waterfalls, you can pay extra for a number of other possible experiences – a helicopter flight, a boat trip directly under the waterfall, a walk in the jungle, etc.

Devil's Gorge - Garganta del Diablo

After half an hour of free „loving“ walking, you are slowly approaching the wildest part of the entire Iguazu Falls – Devil's Gorge. At its end is the largest waterfall: the Devil's Maw.

Devil's Maw Waterfall

Because closer to the Devil's Maw, not only the clouds of water splinters, but also any drone will tell you.

Observation bridges

At the very end of the excursion circuit, there are two more observation bridges waiting for you, where you can get more into the „interior“ of the waterfalls

Waterfall at the bottom of the footbridge

On the lookout bridges, however, expect that the water splinters will really refresh you.

Rainbow over waterfalls

If you have a rainbow, you will enjoy it excessively on Iguazu.

Iguazu from the upper footbridge

From the upper footbridge is another nice view of the waterfalls. At the end of the road is a huge center with a restaurant. Go back the same way to enjoy all the prospects once again.

Z této strany jsou vodopády velmi panoramatické. Z argentinské strany je to o dost divočejší, včetně procházení džunglí přímo nad vodou. Vyplatí se vodopády vidět z obou stran, dost se to doplňuje.
