Igua\u00e7u and Paran\u00e1 rivers. It would be an ordinary border town if it were not for the falls a few kilometres away: around 275 separate waterfalls along almost three kilometres of the Igua\u00e7u river, plunging into a horseshoe-shaped gorge.\r\n\r\nThe falls are shared between two national parks, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Brazilian side gives you the panorama: a walkway along the gorge with views across most of the falls, ending on a platform near the Devil's Throat, the largest. The Argentine side, across the border in Puerto Iguaz\u00fa, gets you up close, with trails above and below the falls.\r\n\r\nSee both. Two full days for the falls, plus a third for the Parque das Aves bird park, the Itaipu dam or a trip into Paraguay, is ideal.

Arrive early to beat the crowds. Boat trips run right into the spray at the base of the falls.\r\n\r\nThe Argentine side is a full day. Trails run above and below the falls, a small train takes you to the walkway over the Devil's Throat, and boats leave from the lower trail. Cross the border by bus from Foz, and bring your passport.\r\n\r\nAcross the road from the Brazilian park entrance, the Parque das Aves is a bird park of large walk-through aviaries with toucans, macaws and other species, many of them rescued.
