Iguassu Falls: Argentinian and Brazilian Parks
.jpg)
Tupi Guarani indians called the falls as the IGU (water) AZU (big), the big waters and they were right. The Falls are 890km far from their spring, with a water volume varying from 300m3/second to 6.500m3/second at the point. The Falls began to be formed approximately 150 million years ago, resulting from a huge pouring of whiny lava. That allowed the Iguazu River’s waters to slowly but constantly excavate the river’s bed until it had the present form. The Falls are formed by a group of 272 falls, with a maximum height of 82m. The biggest attraction is the so called “Devil’s throat” where the biggest volume of water passes, with a strong and impressive roar that can be heard several kilometers far.
The impressive Iguazu Falls region is located on the border between Argentina and Brazil. It constitutes the largest remnant area of Parana Interior Forest which, together with the sea coast or Atlantic forest, once covered the whole southeast of Brazil, Misiones province in Argentina and the northeast of Paraguay. With almost 2 million acres of continued Sub-tropical Rainforest, most of it within Misiones province, this area forms the first Green Corridor in the world comprising 3 countries.
Searching the magnificent Iguazu Falls gives an excellent opportunity of enjoying an incredible flora adapted to the moisture of the falls and of observing the Great-Dusky Swifts in its restricted roosting habitat. Two National Parks and several state parks provide excellent habitat for hundreds of bird species, some of them threatened like Solitary Tinamou, Black-fronted Piping-Guan, Spot-backed Antshrike, Red-ruffed Fruitcrow, Plush-crested Jay, Surucua Trogon, several species of Euphonias, Blue-naped Chlorophonia and Green-headed Tanager, Sao Paulo Tyrannulet and many others. There are also mammals around the falls like coatis, agouties, and Brown-capuchin Monkey.
