Iguazu Falls
In a roar of a thousand lions,
reverberating in the distance,
The colossus lets himself be heard,
crested mantle that bathes.
From the beginning of time,
Divine creative patience,
grinding the rocks,
drills waterfalls and basins.
From distant, meager estuaries,
currents keep adding up,
that in
intricate designs,
Giants descend, resplendent!
And to you, occasional traveler,
such magnificent beauty,
It stirs your simple soul,
We share their nature.
Thus, the sea or the mountains,
with his wrathful violence,
They don't call me to their lap,
but rather to lax indifference.
In contrast, the sweet waterfalls,
life-generators,
work of the mighty God,
They cry out for me without measure!
And on a day far, far away,
when I become part of the world,
I will navigate these waterways,
I will be eternal in the depths.
In an infinite process,
of countless voyages,
I will reach other waters,
But I will return in a hundred poems.

The Iguazu Falls They form one of the most impressive natural landscapes on the planet. Located on the border between Argentina and Brazil, the Iguazu River plunges there in a succession of more than 270 waterfalls that fall from heights of up to 80 meters, creating an immense natural amphitheater surrounded by subtropical rainforest.
The constant roar of the water generates a cloud of steam that feeds the lush vegetation of the Iguazu National Park, Declared a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this ecosystem is home to an extraordinary diversity of life: brightly colored butterflies, toucans, coatis, and lush flora that make it one of the richest environments in South America.
The most spectacular point is the Devil's Throat, An immense horseshoe of waterfalls where the water falls with a force that makes the air vibrate. There, the visitor doesn't just observe the landscape: they feel it. The ground trembles slightly beneath their feet, the mist covers their face, and the sound of the water fills the entire horizon.
It's no wonder that a place like this inspires texts, legends, and poems. Facing Iguazu, nature seems to speak with an ancient voice, reminding the traveler that some landscapes are not only seen: they are also heard and felt.
