   The Iguazu Falls is one of the widest waterfalls in the world, located
   on the Brazilian/Argentinian border in Iguassu National Park -- an
   untouchable preservation area. This aerial view of these spectacular
   falls was photographed in March of 2003. The Iguazu River is
   approximately 2 miles (3 km) wide at the point of the falls. Hundreds
   of separate cataracts spread across the Iguazu, some of which drop 200
   feet (61 m).
