Iguassu is taller than Niagara Falls "“ and twice as wide "“ and consists of 275 cascading falls spread out over nearly 2 miles (3.2 km) in a horseshoe shape. The average flow of the waterfalls amounts to approximately 2.6 million gallons (10 million liters) of water per second.One of Iguassu's most famous features, DevilÃ‚Â´s Throat is the largest waterfall in the region and is best seen from the Brazilian side.

The entire country of Paraguay and large regions of Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, suffered a blackout. The power outage lasted approximately two hours and affected more than 50 million people, leading to one of the world's largest blackouts.Your guided sightseeing tour gives you an up-close view of Itaipu Dam and offers you the chance to take some great photos!
