One place that is a must visit in Argentina is the Iguaçu falls. The Iguaçu falls are located on the Iguaçu River and mark the border between Argentina and Brazil. Iguaçu means big water which owns up to the name of the falls. According to the local legend the falls came into being when a god wanted to marry this beautiful woman called Naipi. However when Naipi refused to marry the god and fled with her mortal lover named Taroba, the god got very angry. It was in his state of rage that the god sliced the Iguaçu River when the two lovers were escaping on the canoe. The result was the Iguaçu waterfalls where the Naipi and Torabo were condemned for eternity by the god. The tragic love story is one of the reasons why the waterfalls are popular amongst the tourists.

Apart from the legends that surround the falls it is also the natural beauty of the falls that allure visitors to it. The Iguaçu falls are truly a natural masterpiece with fast flowing waters and gushing and smoky falls. The Iguazu River is houses more than just one waterfall.
