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.
Description
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.
