Multi-ton currents and streaks of water form a huge number of waterfalls of various shapes and heights with rainbows hanging upwards. Devil’s Throat is considered to be a particularly impressive one and the largest of the waterfalls in the Park. The National Park covers an area of 55,500 hectares preserving various unique species of local flora and fauna.
Then you will find a rich and interesting excursion program (with Russian-speaking guide) to Foz de Iguaçu Falls located on the border of Brazil, Argentine and Paraguay. Foz de Iguaçu is 275 water streams falling down a terrible height. These waterfalls located in the national park have appeared as a result of volcanic eruption and Earth formations’ displacement. Their name translated from Guarani means “big water”. 275 waterfalls, each having its own name, are audibly falling down in the canyon of “Devil’s Throat”. Surprising contrast between the calm and even shiftless flows of Iguaçu river and the waterfalls powerfully overturning furious streams of water from a height of 72 meters into the abyss is just thrilling! You can stand for hours contemplating the sight and thinking of universal grandeur and eternity.
