Iguazú Falls - World's 2nd largest waterfall

Iguazú Falls

6th March 1994 Sunday


In the morning we went to Brazil (Cataratas) to see the second biggest waterfall. We took few photographs there.

Iguazú Falls can be visited from 2 countries - Brazil and Argentina.

The Brazilian side of the falls has more crowded than the Argentinean side because Brazil side has only one path leading to the falls. Brazil side the views are more panoramic, but Argentinean side has more falls.

Visitor need to stick to the allotted areas and walkways.
