If a trip to Argentina or Brazil is part of your honeymoon or romantic getaway, consider paying a visit to Foz de Iguaçu. The city of Foz de Iguaçu is in Brazil and borders the Argentinean Northwest and Paraguay. There are 275 waterfalls that measure up to 80 metres high and the rate of the flow generally averages 1,800 cubic meters per second. Their enormity makes you feel small in comparison!
Beyond just enjoying the falls, you can also enjoy seeing wild monkeys and other animals, while listening to the birds’ calls including the toucan, coatis, ocelot, and the vencejo, a small bird which can’t be found anywhere else on the planet. Watch it make a vertical dive along the waterfalls!

Visit San Martin Island
San Martin Island invites honeymooners to discover a little Eden, with luxurious vegetation, beautiful watch points, and desert beaches. You can go there by boat and take a picnic on this paradisiac island at the foot of the falls.
Take a boat ride into the Garganta del Diablo
In my opinion, a trip to Foz de Iguacu falls is not complete without a boat ride into the falls. Enter the Garganta del Diablo (devil’s throat). Take a poncho and don’t be afraid to get wet! When I arrived at the park I was not planning on taking the boat ride because it seemed expensive, but as we made our way to the waterfalls, the same companies running the boat rides were lowering the prices the further we went. When I realized this was happening, I made an offer to the last place we went by and paid less then half the original price.
Parque Das Aves
Also on the Brazilian side is the Parque Das Aves (Bird Park) which is full of over 140 species of tropical birds, as well as other animals and reptiles. You are actually able to go inside the aviaries where the birds live.
