Iguazu Falls and Emeralds

And a couple more pages for you.

Something that you have to put on your Must Do List is a visit to the Iguazu Falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina. There are literally kilometres of wallfalls and cascades with an incredible range of wildlife and perfect photo shoots around every corner. Keep an eye out for the brightly beaked Tucan birds flying around. If you are a nature lover and can only come to one place in South America, this definitely has to be it!

Information about Iguazu Falls.


And on a totally different note...

Not exactly something on the Backpacker's souvenir list though interesting nonetheless is our page about Emeralds. The best emeralds in the world can be found in Colombia, South America so we thought we would include it anyway, especially since you can sometimes visit the old Emerald mines.
