Iguazu Falls, peak flow
275 individual waterfalls, 80m drops, 1.7km wide. November-March floods double the volume — the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo) becomes a vertical wall of mist visible from kilometers.
Practical info
Both sides (Brazil + Argentina) take 1.5 days. Brazil side: panoramic. Argentina side: walking among the falls. Helicopter ride from Brazil side only ($120, 12 min).
Less-crowded alternatives
- Victoria Falls, Zambia/Zimbabwe (Feb-May) — equally massive
