Argentina

From the Niagara to the Rhine, few natural formations fascinate and inspire like waterfalls can. Possessing a unique combination of power and grace, waterfalls represent the delicate balance that brings beauty to our world. They are life in motion and that is embodied in the Iguazu Falls.

For these reasons, it’s no surprise that the largest and most powerful waterfalls have always been the most celebrated. In September 2011, geocacher aviram_c decided to honor the world’s largest, the Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil, with a series of five Traditional Caches on both sides of the border. Although only one cache in the series, The Iguazu Argentine Falls#3 (GC33V3H), remains active, its stunning location is sure to have you fall-ing in love.
