Title:
Iguacu Water Falls Brazil
Description:
http://tinyurl.com/a8h4mj Iguaçu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. The name Iguaçu comes from the Guarani or Tupi words y (IPA:[ɨ]) (water) and guasú (IPA:[wa'su]) (big). Legend has it that a god planned to marry a beautiful aborigine named Naipí, who fled with her mortal lover Tarobá in a canoe. In rage, the god sliced the river creating the waterfalls, condemning the lovers to an eternal fall. The first European to find the falls was the Spanish Conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1541, after whom one of the falls in the Argentine side is named. The falls were rediscovered by Boselli [citation needed] at the end of the nineteenth century, and one of the Argentinian falls is named after him.
