Very rarely are there natural wonders in the world brimming with the most awe-inspiring sites that draw people towards them. Iguazu National Park is most certainly one of them. The dense subtropical forests that sprawl across the territories of Brazil house the mighty Iguazu Waterfalls. Considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world, breathtaking might be a gross understatement to describe the view of this natural jewel. The 80-meter (87.48 yards) semi-circular falls are a major feature of interest of the park. The trails and boardwalks inside offer terrific and close views of the cascade. Spread over 550 square kilometers (212 square miles), the primary purpose of the park was to protect the falls. The park is home to the rare Alto Parana Tropical Forests Biome, which makes it, globally, one of the most important conservation forest areas. Hiking and navigating through the Iguazu River is one of the best ways to explore the natural beauty and the vibrant wildlife of the park. 2,000 plant species, including the Palo Rosa and Palmito trees and over 400 bird species have found their homes inside. The unique harpy eagle and broad-snouted caiman are commonplace sightings. Iguazu National Park and its Brazilian counterpart have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A project shared by 2 neighboring countries viz; Brazil and Paraguay, Itaipu Dam is one of the best initiatives. This hydroelectric dam on river Parana is the largest in the world.
