Iguazu Falls
Waterfalls arranged in a horseshoe wide enough that no single photo gets all of it, catwalks that put you close enough to feel the spray from a kilometre away, and a jungle full of coatis and toucans on both the Argentine and Brazilian sides.
The best time to visit Iguazu Falls is Sep–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 27°C (80°F). Local time there is 03:48 (UTC-3).
