Unique Characteristics of site

There are many seperate waterfalls within Iguazu Falls. Most of the waterfalls measure to

about 210 feet, but the Devil's Throat is the largest waterfall in Iguazu Falls. It measures at 269

feet, with a width of 490 feet, and a length of 2,300 feet.


As a whole, Iguazu Falls stretches across for 1.67 miles. This distance is four times the with of

Niagra Falls. In fact, upon first seeing this impressive waterfall, this was large enough to make

Eleanor Roosevelt say, "Poor Niagra!"
