The Iguazu falls rise near the triple frontier of Paraguay Brazil and Argentina. A 213 foot drop forms a two and a half mile wide cataract divided by a small island. The Brazilian arm makes a horse shoe plunge 229 feet while the Argentine side forms an amphitheatre and a grand leap. Visitors see vast foam and tropical hues from the Brazilian bank about 280 feet high. The roar can be heard twenty miles away and the falls generate an estimated 14 000 000 horsepower.
