The Iguazú National Park is located in the Northern tip of the Argentine Province of Misiones, across the border from Brasil. It extends over 220,000 acres and protects one of the natural areas of greatest biological diversity in the country: the Paranaense subtropical rain forest, a continuation of the Southern Brazilian Jungle. It has more than 2,100 known plant species, among which abound pindo palms, gigantic trees, arborescent ferns, orchids and large epiphytes such as the huge bromeliads knows as Caraguata (Aechmea caniculata), and tall canes (15 metres high).
