The Iguazu Falls are located at Paraná State, in the South of Brazil, in the border of three countries: Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. They are found inside the Iguaçu National Park in Brazil and the Iguazú National Park in Argentina. Both Parks were designated World Heritage site by UNESCO. The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometers (1.67 miles) of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 meters (269 ft) in height, though the majority is about 64 metres (210 ft). The Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat),a U-shaped 82-metre-high, 150-metre-wide and 700-metre-long (490 by 2300 feet) cliff, is the most impressive of all. Eleonor Roosevelt , after visiting Iguazu during her husband’s presidency, said: “Poor Niagra”.
