We had a truly amazing time at Iguacu National Park. The park is well organized, the staff are friendly and the routes are well maintained. There is a great lookout point where you are right above some of the falls and you get completely wet! This was one of those experiences that will flash before my eyes just before I die.
The entire Iguazu National Park is surrounded by the world's widest waterfall, Iguazu Falls, and straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil.
In addition to being able to see the Iguazu Falls, this place is also a paradise for wild animals, the most common of which is the civet cat. However, this cute little thing actually belongs to the category of wild animals, and people are often injured, so it is not recommended to approach it.
There are several ways to see the falls in Iguazu: walk in and walk along the plank road to the place closest to the Devil's Throat; take a boat to approach the falls from the Iguazu River, but the distance is a little far; take a helicopter in the park to see the entire Iguazu Falls and the surrounding Amazon rainforest from the air.

Iguazu Bird Park is located in the famous Iguazu Falls scenic area. There are many Brazilian birds, such as toucans and diamondbacks, which are really beautiful. Most of these birds can be touched closely, but you should also be careful that some birds are very aggressive and must be fed under the guidance of staff.
When traveling to Brazil🇧🇷 and Argentina🇦🇷 in South America, the Iguazu Falls at the border of the two countries is a must-see attraction. In addition, the Iguazu Bird Park is also a recommended attraction.
The bird park has birds unique to South America, including hornbills with beaks like big bananas, flamingos behind pink flocks, and the most eye-catching is the macaw, which has bright colors and reminds people of the fiery character of the South American people.

The huge, new "Chinese Wall" is a must-see for anyone interested in science and technology, and for their wives as well. Other aspects of the building, such as its consequences for nature, are not mentioned in the "tourism advertisement" video shown to tourists. The location of each tree represents the disappearance of the original forest, which is another honest reminder that progress (at least that's what you think it is) comes at a price.
The Itaipu Dam on the Iguazú River in Brazil is the largest hydroelectric power station in the world, even larger than the Three Gorges Dam in my country. You can see its majestic figure from a distance, especially when it is draining water, the river water gushes out, which is very spectacular.
