Iguazu Falls in Argentina
The impressive Iguazu Falls, which separate the
Iguazu River into the upper and lower sections, are situated along the border
between Argentina and Brazil. The number and height of the falls varies
throughout the year depending on rainfall. The largest waterfall is the Devil’s
Throat, which is about 82 meters (269 feet) high. Union Fall is the largest
cataract at Iguazu Falls.
Local legends have it that a Naipi, a beautiful
woman, was expected to marry one of the gods. Instead, she escaped from the
wedding with her love, Taroba, in a canoe. The angry god left at the altar
responded by cutting the river and creating the waterfall, so the two lovers
would fall to their doom.
