Nestled in the northeastern part of Argentina, the Iguazú Falls and the Iberá Wetlands presents a dual spectacle of natural wonders.
Iguazú Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a breathtaking system of 275 waterfalls along the Iguazú River. The falls, set against the backdrop of the Iguazú National Park’s lush rainforests, create a mesmerizing display of power and beauty. The iconic “Devil’s Throat” stands out, enveloping visitors in mist and providing a sensory experience unlike any other.
In contrast, the Iberá Wetlands, one of the largest freshwater wetland systems globally, sprawl over 13,000 square kilometers within the Iberá Provincial Reserve. Navigable by boat, this vast network of lagoons and marshes is a haven for biodiversity. Visitors can observe diverse wildlife, from herons and capybaras to caimans and the reintroduced giant otter, making it a tranquil immersion into nature’s wonders.
Together, Iguazú Falls and the Iberá Wetlands showcase Argentina’s rich natural heritage, inviting travelers to witness the awe-inspiring grandeur of waterfalls and immerse themselves in the serene beauty of expansive wetlands.
