About 1,000 years ago, it is said that Gaurani natives once lived around the Iguazu waterfalls. This was the
heart of the Gaurani world. Through them, several folk tales have been created about how the Iguazu Falls
was formed. There is one folk tail that says there once was a maiden named Naipi who lived in a village by
the Iguazu River. She was so beautiful that even a god fell in love with her. He disguised himself as a boy
and asked her to marry him. The problem was, Naipi was already in love with a man named Taroba.
The couple fled down the river in a canoe to escape. The god was so outraged he sliced the river, created
the cataracts and waterfalls we see today. This story has been passed around through many generations,
thanks to the Gaurani natives.
