Phenomenal waterfalls can be found in Iguazu. Spread-eagled along the Argentine-Brazil border, should make the final reckoning of nature's most enthralling sights breathtaking.

The Iguazú Falls are the most overwhelming falls in South America. Iguazú means “Great Waters” in the Guaraní Indian tongue. It is difficult to imagine the thrill Portuguese discoverer Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca must have felt when in 1541 he encountered this marvel of nature, the awesome sight of the thundering waterfalls, the colours and its magnificence.

The Leading Hotel of the World, is the most luxurious hotel in Iguazú, offering impeccable accommodations and service; beautifully landscaped gardens and excellent cuisine. Located a very short distance from the falls, in between the Argentine and the Brazilian sides and surrounded by a lush park, it is the ideal location in Iguazú to enjoy the natural wonder of the falls in the utmost comfort.

The Argentine Iguazú National Park embraces a large area of 55,000 hectares, a pristine area of subtropical rain forest, with more than 2,000 identified plant species, mammals and reptiles. The fauna includes the black howler monkey, capybara, jaguar and puma, along with a huge variety of birds, more than 400 bird species. The falls are located on the limit between Argentina and Brazil and can be visited from either side which are not far apart. The Brazilian side offers a post-card view of the magnificent scenery, a panoramic, travelling view, while the Argentine side offers a close-up view.
