Hi everyone!

This blog is about the "New Seven Wonders of Nature". The "New7Wonders Foundation" already made a list of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", but until 11.11.2011, a democratic vote will decide of the main natural places of interest in our world. This idea of a "World Heritage" is quite fashionable these days ; the Seven Wonders refer to the appreciation of a common past, or a common natural heritage, that each and everyone of us have to protect for the future generations.

A New Wonder of Nature ; Iguazu Falls




Iguazu Falls, in Iguazu River, are one of the world's largest waterfalls. They extend over 2,700 m (nearly 2 miles) in a semi-circular shape. Of the 275 falls that collectively make up Iguassu Falls, "Devil's Throat" is the tallest at 80 m in height. Iguazu Falls are on the border between the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones, and are surrounded by two National Parks (BR/ARG). Both are subtropical rainforests that are host to hundreds of rare and endangered species of flora and fauna.
