Home to the Tango and more European than South American in
flavour, Buenos Aires' heart boasts bustling streets, grand avenues,
old-time cafes and stylish restaurants. The locals are renowned for
their flair and cockiness, even in times of adversity. It's a city
of tragedy and elation; a vibrant, cosmopolitan capital.

Falls
Situated in the Parque Nacional Iguazú near Puerto Iguazú, these
spectacular falls lie just east of the confluence of the Iguazú and
Paraná rivers. At least 5000 cubic m (176,570 cu ft) of water per
second plunge the 70m (230ft) into the abyss below. If they look
familiar, it's because they were the supporting actors in the film
The Mission; appropriately, the area has historic ruins of
Jesuit missions which also draw many visitors. San Ignacio Miní,
built in a style of architecture known as 'Guaraní baroque', is
especially popular. Above the falls, the waters are suitable for
canoeing, kayaking and other water sports. The surrounding park is
home to 55,000ha (135,850ac) of pristine subtropical rainforest,
with abundant wildlife and plant species. |
