Iguazu Falls are found along the Iguazu River, which is on the border between Brazil and Argentina. About two-thirds of the falls are on the Argentinian side of the border.
There are a total of 275 separate waterfalls found in Iguazu Falls, stretching for more than a mile and a half. Although most of the falls are around 210 feet high, the tallest drop, known as The Devil's Throat, is approximately 269 feet high.
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was reported to have said, upon first seeing Iguazu Falls, "Poor Niagra!"
As of April 2009, Iguazu Falls were ranked as the seventh most impressive lake, river or waterfall in the world by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation.
Iguazu Falls have been featured in several well-known films, such as the James Bond movie "Moonraker" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
