They are the waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of the Argentine province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná. Only 20% of the waterfall area is located in Brazilian territory, and 80% lies in Argentine territory.
The waterfall is stair-stepped. Its width is about 2 km and it consists of 275 separate rockfalls. The largest cascade, called Devil's Throat, is located on the Argentine-Brazilian border. The water here falls from 82 meters - a height greater than Niagara Falls (50 meters).
