The Indian Guarani Legend

Long before the Spanish arrive to Iguaçu Falls the Guarani Indian tribe sacrifice a beautiful virgin to the Serpent God who lived in the Iguazu River. Usually these women were bred to be sacrificed. Naipi, however, was not one of these condemned girls. She was to be married to Taruba, a great warrior from a neighboring tribe. Naipi was walking near the river and the Serpent God thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He ask the Gua-rani tribe to give her to him. Naipi was very sad, as she and Taruba were madly in love. The 2 lovers try to escape at the Iguazu River with canoe. When Serpent God see it became absolutely furious, and he forced the earth to split. He changed Naipi into a large rock and Taruba into a palm tree and forever rooted to the earth above the falls.

The Argentinean side provides an intimate touch with the falls. However many visitors only visit the Brazilian side and the Argentine side is less crowded. The Brazilian side gives the best idea of their sheer size and view but I find the Brazilian side less impressive. Tickets in Argentinean side are sold at about USD10, and The ticket includes 2 trains that brings visitors from the gates to the falls themselves. Inside the Iguazu Falls Park you can hire bilingual guides or make the tour on your own. Walking through the parks makes it possible to enjoy the huge amount of beautiful birds, butterflies and other animals. The most impressive fall in the area is called La Garganta del Diablo, meaning "the Devil's throat". Devil's Throat is the star at Iguazu, the tallest waterfall, also consuming the largest amount of water.
