What makes Iguazú Falls so huge?
Stand at the edge of Iguazú Falls and you're facing 275 separate waterfalls stretched across nearly two miles of cliffs. The roar is deafening. The mist soaks you from hundreds of feet away. How did nature build something this ridiculously huge?
It starts with the Iguazú River, fed by hundreds of streams from the Brazilian highlands. By the time all that water converges, the river is carrying an Olympic swimming pool's worth of water every single second. That's step one: you need a LOT of water.
