The Iguazú Falls

The Iguazú Falls on the border with Brazil are one of the world's natural wonders.
Lined with dense forests, the Iguazú river flows into 275 waterfalls, plunging more than 70 meters with a deafening noise. As this huge volume of water reaches the bottom, spray rises, and lots of rainbows are formed in the sky.
An incredible variety of fauna and flora completes the perfect setting for the waterfalls within the protection of the Iguazú National Park .

An extensive network of rivers and lakes is the salient feature of this region. Large rivers such as the Iguazú, Uruguay, Bermejo, and Paraná, provide a diverse habitat rich in food and shelter for a large variety of plant and animal species. Visitors can fish for dorados , which reach an unusual size, and species such as the skinny tiger characin , freshwater mullet , and hoplias , in a setting of great natural beauty that complements a high-quality and unforgettable fishing experience.

Fishing for a wide variety of species in the Upper Paraná river can be a most rewarding experience . The areas off the towns of Ituzaingó, Itá Ibaté, Itatí, Isla del Cerrito, Paso de la Patria, Corrientes, Empedrado, Bella Vista, Goya, Reconquista, Esquina and La Paz are internationally renowned fishing grounds for large dorados. All fishing methods are practiced, and fly-fishing has become increasingly popular.

The ideal fishing season is March to September . In July, the Dorado National Fishing Contest is held in Formosa, in August, the National Dorado Fair takes place in Paso de la Patria, and in September, the Dorado International Fishing Tournament in Isla del Cerrito.
