cataratas do iguazu, iguazu

Their name comes from the Guarani or Tupi words y (water) and as (big). Legend has it that a god planned to marry a beautiful aborigine named Naip , who fled with her mortal lover Tarob 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 lvar N ez Cabeza de Vaca in 1541, after whom one of the falls in the Argentine side is named. The falls were rediscovered by Boselli at the end of the nineteenth century, and one of the Argentine falls is named after him.
