The native Guarani people called this waterfall, "Iguazú," meaning, "Big Water." And in fact, the Foz do Iguazú Waterfall is one of the largest in the world. Running along the Iguazú River, this waterfall pours out over the border of Brazil, Argentina, and near the border of Paraguay. Take an Iguassu Falls Brazil Tour and get close to the Devil's Throat, the gaping mouth of the waterfalls on the Brazilian side of the falls. You can also combine an Iguassu Falls tour with a tour of Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires on our popular Tango, Samba & Waterfalls tour.
