Iguazu Falls was short-listed as a candidate to be one of the New7Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation

The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometers (1.67 miles) of the Iguazu River.

Position is at latitude (DMS): 25° 40' 60 S, longitude (DMS): 54° 25' 60 W .

Some of the individual falls are up to 82 meters (269 ft) in height, though the majority are about 64 metres (210 ft).

The Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish or Garganta do Diabo in Portuguese), a U-shaped, 82-meter-high, 150-meter-wide and 700-meter-long (490 by 2300 feet) cataract, is the most impressive of all, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil.

Two thirds of the falls are within Argentine territory.
