Our Iguassu Falls Tours

Iguassu Falls are world-famous waterfalls located on the Iguazú River on the border of Brazil and Argentina. The falls are shared by two UNESCO World Heritage-listed national parks, Brazil’s Iguaçu National Park and Argentina’s Iguassu National Park, which can be added to a number of Goway’s Argentina tours.

Legend has it that the falls were created by a god called Mobi in a fit of rage. Mobi intended to marry a beautiful woman named Naipi who was in love with Tarobá, a mortal. Naipi and Taroba escaped together in a canoe angering Mobi who sliced the river, creating the waterfalls thus ensuring the young lovers would fall to their deaths.

Iguassu Vacation Highlights 

Iguassu Falls are some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. They are shared by three different countries, Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. It has the largest average annual flow of water, more than any other waterfall in the world. There are numerous islands along the 2.7 kilometre/1.7-mile edge which divide the falls into various separate waterfalls. It is hard to say just how many exist as the number fluctuates between 150-300, depending on water levels. One of the most incredible sights is Devil’s Throat where fourteen falls drop some 107 metres/350 feet with such force that there is always a 30-metre/100-foot cloud of spray above. You can take a train running along the Argentinean side to where the mist and the roar are the most spectacular. Also, you can walk to the “Devil’s Throat” and take a boat ride almost underneath the falling waters. The surrounding parks are equally stunning, hosting unique jungle ecosystems that house immense bird and animal life that are just waiting to be explored on an Argentina vacation. It is recommended to spend at least a day on each side of Iguassu, even though about three-quarters of the total length of the falls is on the Argentinean side. Explore one of the world's most stunning settings. Book one of Goway's Iguassu Falls tours today. You won't be disappointed.

When is the best time to visit Iguassu Falls?
