It covers an area of ​​over one and a half thousand kilometers, on which 1,966 rocky islets are scattered. Those who visited Ha Long say there is something magical about this place. The view of a thousand tiny islets, drawing with expressive contours against the background of the horizon bathed in the bright colors of the west, stays in memory for a lifetime. Between the islands there is often a delicate fog that adds mystery to the landscape seen from the ship. In the light of the sun, the water sometimes has a turquoise color, and the emerging rocks and islets are lush green.

Sunset on Santorini, Greece

There is an amazing mystery of nature here, accompanied by: a roar heard in a radius of 20 kilometers, clouds of steam as if from a hellish cauldron and unbelievably beautiful rainbows. From the basalt-shaped threshold in the shape of a horseshoe, 140 million tons of water falls within an hour (in the rainy season)! It is seven times more than it is poured over the Niagara Falls! It is difficult to decide which side of the experience is better - Brazilian or Argentine. The Argentine waterfalls can be practically touched, thanks to footbridges you walk past them and under them. On the Brazilian side there is no such close contact with the waterfalls, but you can admire the truly panoramic views. One thing is for sure, seeing the waterfalls on each side is a great experience.
