Wonderfull.
Foram formadas há cerca de 150.000.000 de anos. Uma das mais belas esculturas da natureza, considerada "a oitava maravilha do mundo".

O Rio Iguaçu nasce na Serra do Mar e percorre 1320 Km até Foz do Iguaçu, o conjunto de quedas d'água, pouco antes de seu encontro com o Rio Paraná formam 275 saltos com altura média de 60 m. As quedas produzem uma névoa que coroada por lindos e imensos arco-íris, proporcionam ao visitante um verdadeiro espetáculo de som e cores.

Os grandes saltos são 19, apenas três do lado brasileiro (Floriano, Deodoro e Benjamin Constant). A maior parte deles está do lado Argentino, voltados para o Brasil proporcionando uma melhor visão das quedas do lado brasileiro.

Os mirantes espalhados pelas trilhas das Cataratas permitem aos visitantes contemplarem de vários ângulos o belo espetáculo da natureza.

As Cataratas do Iguaçu estão localizadas dentro do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, a cerca de 20 minutos do centro da cidade.

Perfect speedshot

Hello Urs. Spectacular photo. The exposition is prefect and the result is impressive. I like very much the colours and the composition is very pleasant. Very good job.
