Iguassu Falls

The Iguassu Falls are an unparalleled force of nature, captivating visitors with their raw power and acoustic spectacle. For the traveler who values absolute comfort and exclusivity, this destination offers a level of sophistication that elevates a simple visit into a singular, contemplative expedition. 

Hydric Power and the Legacy of the Atlantic Forest

The factor that elevates Iguassu to the luxury tourism segment is its monumental scale and natural might

The waterfall system, the largest on the planet, spans approximately three kilometers along the border between Brazil (Paraná) and Argentina (Misiones), showcasing over 250 cascades that plunge up to 80 meters. 

The vigorous discharge of water, especially at the remarkable Devil’s Throat, creates a constant mist that sustains the necessary humidity for the Interior Atlantic Forest.This forest is one of the most critical biological centers in South America. 

Its richness is vast, gathering over 2,000 plant species and around 400 bird species, including the rare Harpy Eagle. The area serves as a sanctuary for mammals such as the Jaguar, the Giant Anteater, and the Ocelot

Given its ecological significance and unique scenic beauty, the site received dual recognition from UNESCO as a Natural World Heritage Site (1984/1986) and, in 2011, was voted a New World Wonder of Nature.
