The Iconic Iguazú Falls

No amount of words or pictures can do one of Argentina’s most famous natural wonders justice. The late First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt, was reported to have exclaimed “Poor Niagara”, referring to Niagara Falls in the state of New York, when she first came across Iguazú Falls. Meaning ‘big water’, the falls were formed some 120 million years ago and can be found in the Iguazú National Park, near the Province of Misiones. One quarter of a million gallons of water cascades down these cliffs – some of which are taller than the Statue of Liberty – every second. This is where you will find the greatest annual flow of any waterfall in the world. Designated a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984, more than one million people visit the falls each year. You will run out of words to describe just how staggering this place is and nothing will be able to describe the sound and feel of the water crashing into the plunge pools below.

Falkland Islands

Capital of the Falklands since 1845, tiny Stanley lies on the windswept tip of East Falkland Island. The Falklands long served as a way station for ships, particularly whalers, bound to and from Cape Horn. The islands' rigorous environment is immediately apparent: Stanley Harbor is dotted with the hulks of vessels that succumbed to the fierce winds and waves of the South Atlantic. While their strategic location led to important  roles in both World Wars, the islands are best remembered as the cause of the 1982 war between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
