Closest Hotels to Iguaçú Falls (Foz do Iguaçú):
The Iguaçú Falls fittingly receive their name from the Caigangues Indian word meaning ‘great waters’. The falls are formed by the Iguaçú River dividing into 275 separate falls; they are surrounded by the virgin jungle of Iguaçú National Park which is home to an estimated 2000 species of flora and 400 species of bird (including parrots and toucans). The highest fall, the ‘Garganta do Diabo’ (Devil’s Throat) reaches 70m (230ft), which is one and a half times the height of Niagara Falls. Besides taking in the stunning view from a series of catwalks, visitors may try rafting or take a spectacular boat ride through the falls.
