Iguazu Falls (Spanish: Cataratas del Iguazú IPA [iɣwa'su]) are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. The waterfall system consists of almost 300 falls, with heights of up to 70 meters, along 2.7 kilometres of the Iguazu River. The Garganta del Diablo ("Devil's Throat"), a U shaped 150 meters wide and 700 meters long cliff, is the most impressive of them all.
