With more than 1.6 million inhabitants, it has a diverse population that includes descendants of Italians, Spaniards, Germans and Lebanese among others. The city's physical appearance has changed significantly since its humble beginnings as a village near a gorge that happened to have fresh water from nearby springs on both sides - perfect for starting a new colony!

Built for passengers and freight, these routes are connecting different areas of Patagonia like never before, linking people and economies across vast distances. As passenger rail continues to grow throughout South America, new journeys will open up for everyone looking for a way to experience this rich and biodiverse region of the world.
5) Iguazu Falls
It's difficult to imagine a world without the roar of cascading water at Iguazu Falls. This magnificent natural wonder is as unique as it is breathtaking. But what exactly are Iguazu Falls? Well, they're actually a string of 275 waterfalls that cascade off the Brazil and Argentine border with Paraguay. Made up of two sides (one Brazilian and one Argentine), Iguazu Falls are said to be on the same scale as Niagara falls.
