Iguassu Falls
Immortalised by the 1986 film ‘The Mission’, the majestic Iguassu Falls were made one of the new Seven Wonders of Nature in 2011. The river Iguaçu emerges from forested banks to plunge over a series of cliffs and create a breathtaking spectacle, higher than Niagara and wider than the Victoria Falls.
There are only two hotels next to the falls themselves, and a good network of walkways. An excellent Bird Park houses many exotic bird and butterfly species.
Our preferred accommodation
means that the hotel is one of our Dream Destinations.
