Iguassu Falls affords great views and walkways and its shape allows for spectacular panoramic vistas. At one point a person can stand and be surrounded by 260 degrees of waterfalls. Luxuriant forests full of macaws, parrots and toucans enhance this incredible sight. The mist caused by the falls, boils up all around, causing almost permanent rainbows.
From December to February, the rate flow of water going over the falls may reach 450.000 cubic feet (12.750 cubic meters) per second.
