Iguassu Falls: This magnificent
array of waterfalls is located in Southern Brasil in
the state
of Parana
on the border between Argentina and Brazil. They stretch
for 2.5 miles plunging 269 feet (82m) into Iguassu
River. Numerous
rocky and wooded islands on the edge of the escarpment
over which the Iguassu River plunges divide the
falls into some 275 separate waterfalls or cataracts.
In 1986 Iguassu Falls were declared a Natural Heritage
of Mankind by Unesco.
Fishing in Parana River:
the Dorado, the Surubi and the Pacu fishes are the favorite
species for the sport fishermen
that choose Parana river to practise sport fishing. From
November to January it is not allowed to fish in this watershed.
Out
from this
period,
excluding
climatic exceptions, fishing is excellent.
Adventure and rural tourism: another option
is agro-tourism. Spending the day in a farm, where it
is common to organize
rides and all kind of strolls aimed to contact with nature,
has become a very interesting trend specially for families
with children.
Fauna watching: more than 450 bird species attract watchers
from all around the world in the province of Misiones.
Iguassu
National Park is the place to go, according to the choice
of the majority.
