Some km to north from San Ignacio, it is Iguazú,
where a triple frontier is shared with Brazil and Paraguay.
Its name means big waters (I =water Guazu =big ) in language of Guaranies,
those aborigines who built architecture at my previous image
So, Iguazu is the name of the river and also the name of the waterfalls...
The whole system is more than 4 kilometres wide, which combined with its height
and the volume of the water during the rainy season makes it one of the largest
in the world. Its width is four times larger than the Niagara Falls.
Totally 275 falls reaching up to 70 m height..
A roar breaking the air, a wonder pervading all senses...
