THE LOST WORLD

Deep in the heart of tropical South America, there remains a place that can still be called a Garden of Eden; one of the last remaining pieces of a pre-historic world. Located on the border of and , in the heart of two National Parks the place is still Sacred to the native Guarani Indians. There are no words to describe the feelings of those who come to this sacred land. Visitors can still hear the echoes of a distant past; the drums of the Guarani tribes venerating the natural beauty of this incredible place which they named Iguassu (Big Water).

WHAT TO SEE DURING YOUR WALK

70% of Iguassu Falls is located on Argentinean territory, but most of the Falls face . For this reason it is advisable for the visitor to see the Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentinean sides. The natural border between and is the Iguassu River. During your visit to the Brazilian side, you will see a lot of the Falls, the quantity always depends on the current volume of water. At some times during the year one can see as many as 275 separate waterfalls cascading along the edges of 2,700 meters (1,6 miles) cliffs. The biggest attraction is "Devil´s Throat" where the largest volume of water passes with a strong and impressive roar that can be heard several miles away.

THE TRAIL

Walking the trail on the Brazilian side of Iguassu Falls is easy. There is a main trail, approximately 1,600 meters (one mile) long, which leads the visitor along the river with its many smaller falls to the base of the biggest waterfall where a catwalk extends out over the brink of the series of falls which make up Devil´s Throat. This side provides a good general view of the falls. After walking the catwalk, there is a tower with an elevator/lift (wheelchair access) to get people to the top of the falls from where one can have a spectacular panoramic view. At the top the trail leads to the end of the tour in front of the Iguassu River above the falls. Here, one can find a souvenir shop, a restaurant and a fast food restaurant. Transportation is available to return the visitor to the starting point.
