2026 Americas 50 - Best Things to Do

Iguaçu National Park

8.1

4.5/5

33 reviews

Iguaçu National Park is located on the basalt geological belt of Parana, Brazil. It faces the national park on the Argentine side across the Iguaçu River, and together they protect the subtropical rainforest that spans the border between the two countries. The park is an important remnant of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil, with dense vegetation and a rich variety of animals. It is a habitat for representative South American wildlife such as tapirs, giant otters, anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots, jaguars, and caimans, and there are also about 200 species of birds. The park's core view is the Iguaçu Falls. The falls are approx. 2,700m wide, consist of hundreds of waterfalls of various sizes, and have a drop of up to approx. 82m. There are various ways to tour the park. Walking along the main trail for about 1.5 km, you can enjoy panoramic views of the falls from multiple observation decks. You can take a helicopter to overlook the entire falls and rainforest from the air; the Macuco Safari water adventure departs by speedboat from the Iguaçu River, approaching the base of the waterfall curtain to experience the power of the water up close. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the falls, you can walk along the Bananeiras trail to the banks of the Iguaçu River and go deep into the rainforest to observe plants and wildlife.

Birds Park

4.8/5

23 reviews

Birds Park is a private bird park focused onthe conservation of Atlantic Forest species. The park features an approx. 2 km walking trail that winds through the recovering Atlantic Forest vegetation and connects six walk-in immersive aviaries along the way. Unlike traditional zoos where you view animals through wire mesh, the birds here fly freely in large, enclosed environments, allowing visitors to walk inside the aviaries and observe them up close—macaws fly overhead, toco toucans perch nearby to preen their feathers, and hummingbirds hover rapidly among the flowers. Birds Parkis home to thousands of animals across over 100 species, many of which are rescued individuals, some of whom cannot return to the wild due to injury, illness, or past illegal trade. The park continues to promote Atlantic Forest conservation through scientific research, conservation education, and animal rescue, and visitor attendance directly supports these conservation efforts.

Iguazu Falls

10

4.8/5

187 reviews

Iguazu Falls is located on the Iguazu River at the border between Argentina and Brazil. The word "Iguazu" comes from the language of the Guarani, an indigenous people of South America, and means "huge water." The falls consist of hundreds of waterfalls of varying sizes, cascading down a nearly 3,000 m wide arc-shaped cliff, creating a magnificent sight. In 1984, Iguazu National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List. The falls' iconic view is the "Devil's Throat"—a U-shaped chasm where nearly half of the river's water converges, plunging from a height of over 80 m with a roar like muffled thunder, sending mist dozens of meters into the air, and on clear days rainbows often hang above the curtain of mist. The formation of the falls is closely related to ancient basalt geology; basalt layers formed by volcanic eruptions approx. 100 million years ago were carved and eroded by the Iguazu River over the long ages, creating the layered scenery. In the 1540s, Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca crossed the rainforest and recorded the falls, introducing them to Europe. The falls are distributed on both sides of the gorge, with Argentina and Brazil each occupying one side, offering distinct viewing experiences. The Argentine side has two routes, upper and lower: the upper route looks down from above at the tumbling, cascading falls, while the lower route winds through dense forest, allowing visitors to experience each section of the falls up close, with a new view at every step; the Brazilian side is ideal for panoramic views, where the main falls on the Argentine side can be seen as a whole, and the park is also home to many wild animals. Visitors can also take speedboats into the mist below the falls to feel the thrill of the water up close. The falls are located in a subtropical region with abundant water year-round, and the water views are even better during the rainy season.

Presa de Itaipu

5.8

The views at Presa de Itaipu center on engineering facilities such as the massive dam, open reservoir, powerhouse, and spillways. Visitors can enjoy the distinct views on both sides from the top of the dam and experience the magnificent scale of this large-scale water conservancy project from the viewing platforms. This is not just a visit to a large dam, but a comprehensive engineering tour area where you can experience the scale of modern water conservancy projects up close and enjoy views of the river and reservoir. The massive dam spans the valley, connecting the natural river with the artificial reservoir and showcasing a very open spatial layout. Upon entering the tour area of the hydropower station, the most direct view is the massive dam stretching for nearly 8 km. The dam spans the Paraná River, and the space on both sides forms a strong visual contrast as the height changes. The dam's height of nearly 200 m makes the entire project look magnificent. Standing at a suitable viewing spot, you can observe the dam structure, river channel, and reservoir from different angles.

Lookout Devil's Throat

5

5.0/5

1 reviews

Lookout Devil's Throat, located in Iguaçu National Park on the Brazil side, is a core, awe-inspiring viewing area on the Iguazu Falls tour route. It faces a massive and magnificent U-shaped gorge, where a wide curtain of water cascades down from the cliff edge, creating a drop of approx. 80 m. You can hear a continuous roar from far away, and as you get closer, the waterfall becomes increasingly powerful, with the mist filling the gorge hitting your face, making the entire viewing experience incredibly immersive. The boardwalk extends toward the gorge and the waterfall, allowing visitors to stand directly in front of the water curtain and observe the rushing river from different angles. On sunny days, sunlight penetrates the mist filling the air above the gorge, often forming brilliant rainbows between the water curtains that complement the massive waterfall.

Devil's Throat

7.9

4.7/5

20 reviews

Devil's Throat is one of the core sections of Iguazu Falls, located on the Argentina side. Multiple river channels converge at the edge of a semicircular basalt formation, forming a U-shaped abyss where approx. 14 waterfalls cascade down simultaneously, with a drop of over 80m, creating a concentrated and fierce volume of water. The massive water curtain plunges into a narrow rift, with mist rising and filling the air. To reach the viewing platform, you need to take the park's sightseeing train through the tropical rainforest, then walk along the steel walkway built over the upper reaches of the Iguazu River. Along the walkway, the river surface is wide and calm, occasionally dotted with flocks of birds and small islands, contrasting with the sudden drop of the waterfall at the end. The viewing platform is suspended above the main waterfall, allowing you to watch the water cascading down and feel the mist hitting your face up close.

Marco das Três Fronteiras

4.5

Located at the junction of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, it is an iconic geographical and cultural landmark in South America. Its core view consists of three boundary markers of different colors, each standing on the banks of the T-shaped waterway formed by the confluence of the Rio Iguaçu and the Paraná River: the Brazilian marker is yellow and green, the Argentine is blue and white, and the Paraguayan is red, white, and blue. These markers were built simultaneously in 1903, symbolizing the territorial division and friendly relations among the three countries. This place is not only famous for its geographical significance but also as a tourist hotspot due to the fusion of diverse cultures. Visitors can "step into three countries at once" here and overlook the magnificent river views and lush rainforests at the border of the three nations. In the evening, the boundary marker square often hosts Latin dance performances and light shows, blending traditional music with modern light and shadow art to create a unique atmosphere. The surrounding area is well-equipped with observation decks, cafes, and handicraft markets, making it an ideal place for photography and leisure.

Trilha das Cataratas Brasil

4.2

Trilha das Cataratas Brasil is like an emerald necklace set within the rainforest, stringing together breathtaking views. As a classic hiking route in Brazil, it is more than just a physical path to a natural wonder. It is an ecological experience that awakens the senses. Stepping onto the trail, you are first embraced by the unique, humid air of the Atlantic Forest, with sunlight filtering through the layered canopy to cast dappled shadows on the leaf-strewn path. Along the way, agile capuchin monkeys leap through the branches, and colorful toucans flit through the forest. As the rumble of water grows clearer, the hustle and bustle of the city fades away. You can stand on the mid-section platform to overlook the panoramic view and watch hundreds of streams cascade down from the cliffs, or feel the cool mist on your face as you approach the end. It is not just a sightseeing boardwalk, but a bridge for a dialogue between people and nature.

5.0

We had a truly amazing time at Iguacu National Park. The park is well organized, the staff are friendly and the routes are well maintained. There is a great lookout point where you are right above some of the falls and you get completely wet! This was one of those experiences that will flash before my eyes just before I die.

When traveling to Brazil🇧🇷 and Argentina🇦🇷 in South America, the Iguazu Falls at the border of the two countries is a must-see attraction. In addition, the Iguazu Bird Park is also a recommended attraction. The bird park has birds unique to South America, including hornbills with beaks like big bananas, flamingos behind pink flocks, and the most eye-catching is the macaw, which has bright colors and reminds people of the fiery character of the South American people.

The Devil's Throat in Argentina is the most stunning chapter of the Iguazu Falls. The surging water is like a galloping horse, falling into the abyss with the force of thunder, and the rainbow is looming in the steaming water. The roar resounds through the valley, and the majestic momentum hits the soul directly, showing the wild beauty of nature's uncanny craftsmanship.
