The Iguaçú
River
|
| |
The Iguaçú river is
the largest river in Paraná. Its source
is near the Serra (mountain range) do Mar, at
the junction of the Ivai and Palmital rivers at
the border of the Pinhais, São José
dos Pinhais and Curitiba municipalities. It runs
1,320km from East to West.
After the spectacle of the Falls, the Iguaçú
river follows its course to its estuary when it
meets the Paraná river and forms the magical
triple border which is the harmonious relationship
among three countries: Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.
