ONE OF THE NEW 7 WONDERS OF NATURE
IGUAZU FALLS
Argentina & Brazil
Iguazu Falls, which sits on the border of Brazil and Argentina is perhaps the most beautiful iwaterfalls system n the world
.The exquisite Iguazu Falls are also known as the Iguassu Falls and the Iguaçu Falls. The magnificent spectacle of these 275 individual drops has awed tourists, locals and indigenous inhabitants for centuries. They originate from the Iguazu River and are located on the border of Brazil (in the state of Paraná) and Argentina.
They are the largest waterfalls system in the world. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu River rises near the city of Curitiba. For most of its course, the river flows through Brazil, however, most of the falls are on the Argentine side.
it's worth seeing the falls from both sides. Clearly, they're different but beautiful and equally worthwhile.

Parque Das Aves
The Bird Park (Parque Das Aves in Portugese), located in the town of Foz do Iguacu, near the famous Iguacu Falls . This world-class Bird Park is situated on 16 hectares (40 acres) of native subtropical forest and provides shelter for around a thousand birds (160 species) as well as butterflies and humming birds from both all South America and other exotic places.
What is different about this park when compared to other zoos or similar parks is that the most of the cages are huge and the birds and animals can roam and fly free. Also, it's possible to enter those enclosures and admire all the beauty of the exotic colorful birds: wide variety of parrots, toucans, eagles, owls and others. It's a perfect place for photography as there's no fence between the camera and the object so the photos look as if they were taken in the natural, original environment. Toucans even seem to pose for photographs.
Location: at the entrance to the Iguassu National Park, Brazil
Tips :
It's perfectly possible to visit the Bird Park on the way to Iguassu Falls (Brazil) on the same day, it will take around 1,5 hour to see the entire park.

GUIRA OGA
wildlife refuge
Güirá Oga - Animal Rehabititation Centre
The dedicated workers & volunteers at Güiá Oga work their hearts out daily for animals that were victims of traffic, poaching & smuggling, and poor conditions in private homes & zoos. Güirá Oga means "house of the birds" in Guaraní, but all kinds of animals are brought in here. They get pampered to hopefully release them back in nature, if not they become full time residents whose offspring can be introduced in the wild. The guides of this beautiful place teach you about the animals, the feeding & breeding and nature conservation. You´ll meet up close with tucans, parrots, other tropical birds, birds of prey, monkeys, capybaras, foxes, skunks, anteaters, different wild cats, etc. But just remember, it´s not a zoo, it´s an animal rehabilitation centre.
You´re really gonna enjoy your visit, and your entrance fee helps this non-profit organization to continue!
Spanish & English spoken. Open from 09h00 - 17h00
