阿根廷
候选景点1:伊瓜苏瀑布
推荐理由:
南美洲最大的瀑布,世界五大瀑布之一。1984年,伊瓜苏瀑布被联合国教科文组织列为世界自然遗产。它位于阿根廷北部与巴西交界处。瀑布呈马蹄形,它与众不同之处在于观赏点多。从不同地点、不同方向、不同高度,看到的景象截然不同。
文字介绍:
“伊瓜苏”在当地土著语言中,是“大水”的意思。该瀑布位于阿根廷和巴西两国边境,河水顺着倒U形峡谷的顶部和两边向下直泻,形成一个景象壮观的半环形瀑布群。瀑布分布于峡谷两边,峡谷顶部是瀑布的中心,水流最大最猛,人称“魔鬼喉”,在阿根廷这边是从上往下看,9股水流咆哮而下,惊心动魄,同时还可以望见环形瀑布群的全景;在巴西那边是从下往上看,水幕自天而降,另有一番感受。伊瓜苏瀑布最佳参观季节是1-3月。
