Creator's Key Takeaways

We instantly realize why these falls are considered one of the seven new wonders of the world.

This is amazing. We thought that there was going to be a lot more people here, but our guy took us to the Brazilian side and we were here probably first thing in the morning.

The Iguazu River that forms the falls and separates the two countries literally means big water.

The view is absolutely beautiful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Start your visit early in the morning to avoid crowds.
Buy plastic ponchos for the boat ride to stay dry.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

There are beautiful waterfalls… and then there is Iguazu Falls. Straddling the border between Brazil and Argentina, Iguazu is the largest waterfall system on Earth, stretching nearly two miles with 275 individual falls pouring an astonishing amount of water every second. But no statistic can truly prepare you for what it feels like to stand beside it. In this Destination Wednesday episode, we explore both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of Iguazu Falls, experience the incredible panoramic overlooks, and take the famous Macuco Safari boat ride… which left us absolutely drenched. From the roar of the falls to the mist in the air and the sheer scale of the landscape, this was one of the most unforgettable natural wonders we have ever experienced. And yes… those $6 ponchos were not exactly an investment success. If you enjoy immersive travel experiences, cruise travel, destination guides, and cinematic adventures from around the world, we’d love to have you join us for the journey. #IguazuFalls #Brazil #Argentina #janandtraceytravels Our Recommended Cruise Gear OREI American to European Plug Adapters—Many cruise ships are equipped with 220 European plugs, which are useless unless you have the correct adapter.

That’s why we always bring at least one of these inexpensive closet organizers, which gives us plenty of room for our folded clothes. We typically use a couple of magnetic hooks, as described above, to hang these from the ceiling in the corner of our room.
