View from Brazil. The Iguazú Falls represent the largest system of waterfalls in the world. The Iguazú River - forming the Argentine-Brazilian border - plunges down 60-80 m over a sequence of basaltic layers in generally two steps, whereby most of the individual waterfalls are located on the territory of Argentina.
