  • Iguaçù waterfalls, located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones, divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. View from Argentina's side. The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometers of the Iguazu river. The most impressive of all is the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo), a U-shaped cataract of 82-meter-high, 150-meter-wide and 700-meter-long that marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Two thirds of the falls are within Argentine territory. The first European to find the falls was the Spanish Conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (1541), and the falls were rediscovered by Boselli at the end of the nineteenth century. The falls are shared by the Iguazú National Park (Argentina) and Iguaçu National Park (Brazil), designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984 and 1987, respectively.
