Foz do Iguaçu, nestled within the Paraná state of southern Brazil, offers a breathtaking experience with its world-famous waterfalls. Known for their immense size and captivating beauty, the Iguaçu Falls stretch across the border between Brazil and Argentina, offering visitors a spectacular view of cascading water. With around 275 waterfalls spreading out over a width of nearly 2.7 kilometers, this destination is truly a sight to behold.

The area's ecological richness is protected as part of both Brazil's Iguaçu National Park and the Iguazú National Park in Argentina, recognized collectively as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
