ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WATERFALLS

Are you tired?Have you been at the computer all day?Or are you simply wanting to relax?

Just close your eyes and remind yourself of your last wonderful holiday with your family! Alternately, you could watch the following video!!!

One of the widest waterfalls of the world -
Iguazu waterfalls on the border of Paraguay,Argentina,and Brazil is amazingly breathtaking!


The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometers (1.67 miles) of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 meters (269 feet) in height, though the majority are about 64 meters (210 feet). The or Devil's Throat , a U-shaped 150-meter-wide and 700-meter-long (490 by 2300 feet) cliff, is the most impressive of all, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Most of the falls are within Argentine territory. About 900 meters of the 2.7-kilometer length does not have water flowing over it. The edge of the basalt cap recedes only 3 mm per year.

The water of the lower Iguazu collects in a canyon that drains into the Rio Parana and this is located in Argentina.
