It is said that there are three giant water falls in the world, which are Niagara Falls in North America, Victoria Falls in Southern Africa, and Iguazu Falls in Latin America. Besides their tremendous sizes, I like Iguazu Falls the best in that it is located in the untouched and natural area - most thick and beautiful forest, Amazon Jungle. It is distributed between Brazil and Argentina, and 'numerous islands along the 2.7-kilometre-long (1.7 mi) edge divide the falls into many separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying between 60 to 82 metres (197 to 269 ft) high. The number of these smaller waterfalls fluctuates from 150 to 300, depending on the water level' (quoted from Wikipedia, 2017). Its average annual flow is 1,746 m3/sec, and the half is fallen down at 'Devel's Throat', the main point of Iguazu. Two Iguazu national parks in Argentina and in Brazil are sharing numerous Iguazu Falls, and these were designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984 and 1987, respectively.
