There are some places in the world that seem to be overshadowed by others of the same characteristics but of greater renown. This is the case of Iguazu waterfalls. When we think of waterfalls, without having to make a great effort, most of us come up with a name. Niagara. However, those of the Iguazu cost more to remember them. But that does not mean that these falls are one of the most impressive places of the world.
Located in the province of Misiones, in Argentina, its set is made up of 275 waterfalls, some of them reaching 80 meters in height. All these jumps it forms a huge arch about 3 kilometers long. Its name actually means "big water". This arch can be traveled either on foot through a set of footbridges installed among the tropical vegetation of the area, or in boats that will take you through the water to the very foot of the waterfalls.
Of all the immensity of this place, the grandeur stands out for its Devil's throat, with more than 80 meters high. To access it, it is necessary to take the Cataratas Train and descend at the Garganta del Diablo station, from where a walk begins along a walkway that runs for more than a kilometer until reaching the wide balconies located just in front of the gorge. 50 meters away.
An ideal place from which you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view is the Saint Martin Island. The only way to get there is by using a special boat service. You will be amazed with its views: the Devil's Throat, the Window Throat and the Salto de San Martín.
