After visiting what she described as the "most beautiful place on Earth", a travel expert has provided a list of five things you must know if you want to see the location for yourself. Emma Ansley Knight took to TikTok following her return from the Brazil-Argentina border in South America, describing her trip as "such a bucket list moment".

"Literally felt a tear come down my face when I stood over the Devil's Throat waterfall for the first time," she added. "Just amazing how powerful nature can be." She continued, noting that the Brazil side of her destination features an approximate treck of around 1.5km offering "beautiful panoramic views" of the falls, which she recommends visiting first.

"Someone said that from the Brazilian side you can see the falls, and from the Argentinian side you can feel the falls, which I thought was a great way of describing it," Emma said. Indeed, that Argentinian side differs in that it boasts several different trails and is more of a "full day experience", according to Emma.

Her location? Iguazu Falls. Also known as as Iguaçu Falls, it's located on the Iguazu River, forming part of the largest waterfall system in the world. "If you want to see the falls at their absolute fullest, you are best off going in the rainy season, which is roughly between November and March," Emma suggested. "We went in December and just before that it had rained so much that the flow of the falls was five times higher than usual."

Emma went on to detail the Devil's Throat, the largest waterfall in Iguazu Falls. "You can see the water thundering down it from the Brazilian side," she said. "And on the Argentinian side, you can head along a walkway and stand pretty much right at the top of it - and wow, what an experience that was."

When it comes to staying nearby, Emma explained that there are a number of options. "On the Brazil side, you have Foz do Iguaçu, which is where we stayed. And on the Argentina side there's Puerto Iguazu - and if your budget allows, you can even stay in the National Park itself."

Emma closed with a reminder that if you want to cross from one side of the falls to the other, you will have to go through border control, and therefore you must remember to have your passport on you.

Iguaçu National Park became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 owing to its outstanding natural beauty. Its website boasts: "The semicircular waterfall at the heart of this site is some 80m high and 2,700m in diameter and is situated on a basaltic line spanning the border between Argentina and Brazil.

"Made up of many cascades producing vast sprays of water, it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The surrounding subtropical rainforest has over 2,000 species of vascular plants and is home to the typical wildlife of the region: tapirs, giant anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots, jaguars and caymans."

As for reaching the location, on the Brazilain side you can fly from Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro to the local airport, Aeropuerto Internacional de Foz do Iguaçu. Flights from Rio take approximately two hours, whilst those from from Sao Paulo are around 15 minutes shorter.

From Buenos Aires, Argentina, meanwhile, you can fly to the Aeropuerto Internacional de Puerto Iguazu. Similarly, the flight takes around one hour and 50 minutes.
