6 of the Most Awe-Inspiring Waterfalls Around the World

The name Iguazu is derived from a Guaraní word meaning "great water," but even that may be an understatement.

Wider than Africa's Victoria Falls at 1.7 miles across and 100 feet taller than Niagara Falls at its highest point, Iguazu Falls is considered the world's largest waterfall system. Made up of more than 275 separate cascades along the Iguazu River, the falls straddle the border between Argentina and Brazil, and both countries have rightfully created national parks around this true natural wonder. In the midst of the glorious waterfall complex, the memorably named Devil's Throat stretches over 300 feet wide. Catwalks extend over the Iguazu River, allowing visitors to walk across and peer just over the edge of a precipitous drop more than 260 feet below. The horseshoe-shaped curtain of water is so powerful that it completely obscures the pool below with a thick mist.
