GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Puerto Iguazú is a border city in the province of Misiones, Argentina. The world-renowned Iguazú Falls are only 18 kilometres (11 mi) away from the city, and as a result the city has developed much of its infrastructure around tourism.
FABIO'S REVIEW
One of my top three destinations in Argentina (along with the Glacier Moreno and the Epecuen ghost town). These spectacular falls are world renowned, and I recommend you visit both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides. Also, the city of Puerto Iguazu is quite cozy, and I suggest you book a hotel room there: I made the mistake of staying in Paraguay’s Ciudad del Este (which is a dump) because I didn’t want to carry my luggage around, pass through customs etc.
LOCATIONS EXPERIENCED
RACCOONS AND BUTTERFLIES
The fauna of the park includes several rare and threatened species: jaguar, jaguarundi, South American tapir, ocelot, tirica, anteater, the black-fronted piping guan, the harpy eagle, and the yacare caiman. One can also find birds like the great dusky swift and large toucans, mammals like the coatí, and a diversity of butterflies.
THE IGUAZU FALLS
The Iguazu Falls are arranged in a way that resembles a reversed letter "J". The border between Brazil and Argentina runs through the Devil's Throat. On the right bank is the Brazilian territory, which has just over 20% of the jumps of these falls, and the left side jumps are Argentine, which make up almost 80% of the falls.
