Iguaza+Falls

 The Iguaza Falls are taller than the Niagara Falls, more than twice the width of Niagra with approxomately 275 falls spread out in a horsehoe over almost two miles of the Iguazu River, the Iguaza  Falls  are said to have been created more than 200 thousand years ago in an area of the world today that is known as the Devils Throat. This area is where the massive Iguazu river and the Parana river  connect. A massive fault line produced at the Parana    riverbed jutted land nearly 80 meters high to create the Iguazu falls. From the beginning of the fault line, to the end of the Devils Throat is nearly 23 kilometers long and the drop off between these to geological marvels, is what gives the falls its massive drop in altitude. The devils throat doesn’t only contain the Iguazu falls, it holds any where from 250-270 different water falls, all of different height. The Iguaza falls however are located along the principal region of the giver, and with an average flow at a steady rate of 1500 cubic meters of water every second, these falls create a sort of permanent fog above them which creates an everlasting rainbow when the sun is shinning. Ever since the falls were created 200 thousand years ago, the steady flow of the water has eroded the walls of the river banks, and the Devils Throat grows daily. According to Bonnie Hamre from About.com, "During the rainy season of November - March, the rate of flow of water going over the falls may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second." (Hamre). One of the easiest ways to access the giant falls, and nearly the only way is to see them by airplane. several Sight seeing camps are set up near by that allow tourists to hop onto a small plane and stare "down into the devils throat" (Pilot Guides).
