My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

This WHS is located in the province of Misiones. It is centred on the Iguazu (Iguaçu) Falls, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. In totality, it measures 80m high and 2700m in diameter, spanning the Argentine-Brazilian border. The surrounding sub-tropical forest is home to distinct and typical flora and fauna; the latter category include tapirs, anteaters, caimans, and jaguars. The Iguazu National Park is contiguous with the Iguaçu National Park in Brazil, which is a separate WHS.
