"I understand why it is one of the Wonders of the world," I said open-mouthed at the Devil's Throat.  The sound of the water guides you through the lush vegetation towards the main attraction of the National Park: La Garganta del Diablo, an impressive set of waterfalls that are in the Salto de La Unión and are one of the greatest spectacles of nature. The camera will be splashed with water, the photos may come out blurred ... but your memory, I guarantee, will be indelible.  The Iguazu Falls are located inside the Iguazu National Park, an area of ​​nature preservation. They cover about 67,720 hectares at the northern end of the province of Misiones, in Argentina and the state of Parana, in southern Brazil. It is a system of 275 jumps in the Paranaense Jungle, which are located 17 kilometers from the mouth of the Iguazu River, in the waters of the Paraná River, at which point the three borders are located: Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.  In 2011 the Falls were selected as the New Natural Wonder of the World, in a worldwide vote. In 2013, UNESCO awarded them the recognition of “Outstanding Universal Value” for being a territory of extraordinary cultural and natural importance that transcends national borders and becomes important for the present and future generations of all humanity.

On the Brazilian side, you are in the best seat of the gallery, with a total perspective of the game. You have a perfect panorama of the immensity of waterfalls, you see them and enjoy it.  Now imagine you're on the court, playing. That is the Argentine side.
