But today i would like to write more about the Iguazu Waterfalls at Argentina. According to the history the name "IGUAZU" comes from the Gurani or Tupi words. According to the legend of this falls a god planned to marry a beautiful woman named Naipi, who fled with her mortal lover Taroba' in a canoe.
I get the information from the internet that the first person that meets that falls is the Spanish Conquistador Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca in 1541. Iguazu Falls is located where the Iguazu River tumbles over the edge of the Parana Plateau, 23 kilometer (14 m) upriver from the Iguazu's confluences with the Parana River. Based on the information that i get the Iguazu Falls have 3 section which is the Lower Trail, Upper Trail, and the Devil's Throat. You can walk on the top of most of the Falls at the Upper Trail, meanwhile take the best picture at the Devil Throat.
I also read an article saying that Iguazu Falls was featured in this following movies
- Moonraker (1979)
- The Mission (1986)
- Mr Magoo (1997)
- Miami Vice (2006)
- Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (2008)
There are two international airports close to Iguazu Falls, which is the Argentina Cataratas Del Iguazu' International Airports (IGR) and the Brazilian Foz Do Iguacu International Airports ( IGU) . Since i'am were talking about two different countries which the Argentina and the Brazil, there are obviously multiple way to get there by air. So let start with the Argentina , In Argentina, you're most likely going to be flying into Buenos Aires (the country's capital) and then take a connecting flight (typically 90 minutes) from there to the town of Puerto Iguazú. The Ezeiza International Airport is actually quite a drive (budget at least an hour for this drive alone) from El Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (i.e. the domestic airport) so you'll have to arrange for a taxi to make the transfer between airports. If you happen to already be in an Argentinean city or other South American city outside Argentina that's both reasonably closer to the Iguazu Falls than Buenos Aires and contains a direct connection to Puerto Iguazú, then you can probably fly directly to the airport by the falls.
After landing at the Iguazu Falls International Airport on the Argentina side, you'll need to arrange a taxi or a courtesy shuttle with the hotel you're staying in (though not all hotels do this). The accommodations are either in Puerto Iguazú or the Sheraton Iguazú (which is within the National Park boundary). If you're staying in Puerto Iguazú, you either need a bus or a taxi to get to the visitor center in the National Park. From there, you can catch a short in-park train ride or walk to get up to Iguazu Falls. However, if you're staying within the park at Sheraton Iguazú, you can just walk for about 15 minutes from the hotel to the falls.
In Brazil, you're most likely going to be flying into Sau Paulo (a major hub of Brazilian flights). From there, you'd take a connecting flight (90 minutes) to the city of Foz do Iguassu. Then, you'll need a ride (taxi or bus) to your accommodation in the city itself or to Hotel das Cataratas. Moreover, you'll need a taxi or bus to get from your accommodation to the falls unless you're at the Hotel Tropical Iguassu Falls (in which case you'll just walk a couple of minutes right to an overlook).
If flying isn't your thing, then you can take a bus ride on in either Argentina or Brazil. It's certainly cheaper than flying, but you're typically looking at a minimum of 20 hours on the road.
So that's all for today i hope that it can increase our general knowledge. Thank you for read and don't forget to leave you're comment ^_^......
