渴望陽光嗎？那就去阿根廷吧。那里的夏日時光以及像伊瓜蘇瀑布這樣的絕美景點正等著你去領略一番。在那里，可做之事與可賞之景數不勝數，那里是每個人這輩子都至少應該去一次的地方。

伊瓜蘇瀑布位于阿根廷北部省份米西奧內斯的伊瓜蘇河上(“伊瓜蘇”在瓜拉尼語中意為“大水”)，是世界上最大最壯觀的瀑布之一。據說，美國前第一夫人埃莉諾·羅斯福在游覽伊瓜蘇瀑布時曾感嘆道：“尼亞加拉大瀑布太遜色了！”伊瓜蘇瀑布將伊瓜蘇河分成兩段——伊瓜蘇河上游和下游。河上傾瀉而下的275股瀑布中，最大的一股名叫“魔鬼之喉”，落差竟有80米之高，其景美不勝收，令人嘆為觀止！

The Park

In order to see the Falls in all its glory， you'll need to visit the Park， which was created in 1934 to preserve the biological diversity of the subtropical5) rainforest and the breathtaking6) scenery surrounding the Falls. It was declared a Natural Heritage in 1984 and spans an area of approximately 660 square kilometres. Approximately 400 species of birds， 2000 species of plants and a world of insects call the Park their home. You'll especially love the butterflies that constantly surround and play with you!

The Devil's Throat

The \"Garganta del Diablo\" (means Devil's Throat) is the reason for this trip! Once in the Park， you can enjoy walking along the scenic 1100-metre-long trail that starts from Garganta station and takes you to the viewing balcony， where you'll be able to get a panoramic7) view of one of the most beautiful sights you'll ever see! However， be prepared to be drenched8) by the powerful spray coming off the Falls.

伊瓜蘇國家公園

要想一覽伊瓜蘇瀑布的盛景，你需要進入伊瓜蘇國家公園。伊瓜蘇國家公園建于1934年，目的在于保護亞熱帶雨林的生物多樣性和伊瓜蘇瀑布周圍攝人心魄的美麗景色。伊瓜蘇國家公園于1984年被列入“世界自然遺產”，目前占地面積約660平方公里，約有400種鳥、2000種植物和大量的昆蟲在園內安家。你一定會特別喜愛那些時常繞著你翩翩起舞、與你嬉戲的蝴蝶！

魔鬼之喉

“魔鬼之喉”是伊瓜蘇瀑布之旅的最大看點。進入伊瓜蘇國家公園后，你可以沿著1100米長的游覽棧道前行。棧道起于魔喉車站，通向觀景平臺，在那里你可以一覽伊瓜蘇瀑布的全貌——那將是你此生所見的最美麗的景色之一！不過，要做好全身被瀑布上飛濺出的水沫打濕的準備哦。

不容錯過之事

乘船到瀑布正下方感受一下(不過要做好當“落湯雞”的準備)；沿著更多美麗的小徑漫步；穿梭于叢林間享受旅行攝影的樂趣；觀賞月圓之夜明月照耀下的瀑布！
