In
the extreme of the province of Misiones, in the north
of Argentina, and surrounded by the leafy parana jungle
vegetation, there are Argentinian and Brazilian Iguazú
National Parks, with their more than 270 waterfalls. In
the guaraní language, “Iguazú”
means “big water”; this is how the aborigine
,who still inhabit the area, named the imposing waterfalls
of the iguazú river. The waterfalls represent a
unique natural spectacle in the world, and were named
World Heritage by the UNESCO. The river and the waterfalls
are the natural boundary between Argentina and Brazil
and they form, together with Paraguay, a boundary post
of three frontiers.
