Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

Have you ever seen the world’s largest waterfall? Iguazu Falls, located on the border of Argentina and Brazil, may not be as famous as Niagara Falls, but it consists of 275 individual cascades of varying sizes and spans 4 kilometers in width—over three times wider than Niagara Falls. Netizen Yumi shared this world No. 1 waterfall on“Traveling Is So Much Fun!”.

Veteran blogger Yumi, who has traveled to more than 150 cities and seen many majestic landscapes, was instantly moved upon visiting Iguazu Falls (Iguazu Falls) and immediately named it her favorite waterfall. She said that before going, she didn’t have high expectations since she had already seen Niagara Falls on the U.S.-Canada border, but being there in person was deeply moving. She especially recommended the main waterfall, “Garganta del Diablo,” where thick mist and spray greet you along with the thunderous roar of the falls—a breathtaking and emotional experience that words can hardly describe.

Aside from the waterfall itself, many people like to send postcards home from tourist spots, but Yumi was shocked by the surprisingly high postage. A souvenir shop advertised, “If you’re willing to pay the postage to send a postcard, we’ll give you the postcard for free.” Thinking it was a great deal, she later found out that sending a postcard from Iguazu costs 150 pesos (about NT$300). She admitted that she had thought Ushuaia, the end of the world, would be the most expensive, but a postcard there only costs about NT$100. The postage at Iguazu Falls is the highest she’s encountered in her travels to over 150 cities.
