In the local Tupi language, the word means big water. One look at the staggering Iguazu Falls, located on the border of the Brazilian State of ParanĂ¡ and the Argentine Province of Misiones and you realise that this is no exaggeration.
The edge of the waterfall is almost three kilometers (1.86 miles) in length and it is dotted with numerous islands. These islands create a copious number of separate falls. Many have their own names - for example the narrow chasm down which half the flow disappears is known as the Devil's Throat.
