Iguacu Falls straddles the border between Brazil and Argentina, with the majority of the waterfall occuring in Argentina. Primary access to the falls, however, is from Brazil. A portion of this enormous waterfall is a single plunge deep into the gorge, known as the "Devil's Throat", where probably half of the river is directed. There is evidence that every segment of the falls is individually named, but we can't confirm anything at this time. |
