What is a famous water fall in Brazil?

Iguazu Falls (The Devil's Throat). Iguazu Falls is located on the Iguassa or Iguaça River on the border of Brazil and Argentina. Iguazu is composed of an impressive set of nearly 300 waterfalls all plunging over the border between two countries. In total the falls are over 492 feet long, although the cliff from which the water falls is up to 2.5 miles long and at its tallest falls reaches heights of 269 feet. Iguazu is a wide horseshoe shaped set of falls, some would call it crescent shaped, surrounded by thick green jungle forests filled with bamboo and palm trees. The river before it hits the falls is meandering over the Parana Plateau in its attempt to make it to sea level. Most of the Iguazu Falls are cascade waterfalls and in the process of falling they send up lots of mist which prisms the daylight creating lots of rainbows to dazzle the observer. Its said that the sound of the falls can be heard from miles away. In fact one of its waterfalls is called, 'Garganta del Diablo' or Devil's throat may hearken from the thunderous roaring of the falls. This area of the falls is particularly tumultuous, sending a spray of water high over the cliff and is thought to be the home of the river's god. The name Iguazu comes from the local Guarani language, which is 'y guasu' or big water.
