The Iguaçu National Park is one of the best known Brazilian parks, as it contains one of the great spectacles of nature: the Iguaçu Falls. Its area is covered by sub-tropical rain forest, with large trees and an enormous variety of epiphytes, especially bromeliads and orchids. The fauna of the park is quite representative, although many species are reduced to small populations, such as the tapir, capybara, otter and the crab eating racoon. Among the large cats, which are rare and difficult to observe, the forest hides jaguars and cougars. Also in the region, sport fishing may be practised almost the whole year round in rivers famous for the presence of Salminus maxillosus and Prochilodus. There is a de luxe hotel in its interior.
