Established on June 10,
1914, Iguassu Falls holds a privileged location
of the Western border of Brazil, tucked
into the angle formed by the confluence
of Paraná and Iguassu rivers, that mark
borders with Paraguay and Argentina. Its
name is indigenous in origin, formed by
the words: YG (water) ASSU (big): YG-ASSU
Big Water. Some 183 meters above sea-level,
its attractions are clustered within a lush
natural setting enhanced by human hands.
Here in the Land of the Waterfalls, all
the splendour of its native and planted
forests, rivers and lakes form an environmentally-correct
setting for great shopping opportunities
in three countries: Foz itself in Brazil,
Ciudad del Este in Paraguay and Puerto Iguazú
in Argentina.
At least in Brazil, there
is certainly no other lace with so many
international atractions.
Marvellous this aptly
describes all that Iguassu Falls has to
offer. Natural attractions such as the Iguassu
National Park with its forest and falls
contrast with the hight-tech efficiency
of the Itaipu Hydro-Power Complex the world´s
largest in unique spectacle of surprising
beauty.
All these daytime attractions
are offset by an exciting night that includes
cassinos, restaurant, night-clubs and shows
in all three countries.
