Português:

O rio Iguaçu é um afluente do rio Paraná e é o maior rio do estado brasileiro do Paraná, formado pelo encontro dos rios Iraí e Atuba na parte leste do município paranaense de Curitiba, junto à divisa deste com os municípios de Pinhais e São José dos Pinhais. O curso do rio segue o sentido geral leste a oeste com algumas partes servindo de divisa natural entre o Paraná e Santa Catarina, bem como em certo trecho do seu baixo curso faz a fronteira entre o Brasil e Argentina (província de Misiones). Em 2008, o rio Iguaçu foi considerado o segundo rio mais poluído do Brasil, superado apenas do rio Tietê, em São Paulo. O seu percurso total é controverso. Alguns autores afirmam que tem aproximadamente 910 km. Segundo a Secretaria Estadual do Meio Ambiente do Paraná, o rio tem 1 320 km. O rio desagua no rio Paraná, no município que recebeu o nome de Foz do Iguaçu. Neste município, próximo a sua foz, ele apresenta as cataratas do Iguaçu, que são as maiores quedas (ou saltos), em volume de água, do planeta. O termo "Iguaçu" é oriundo da língua guarani, significando "rio grande", através da junção de y (água, rio) e guasu (grande). Em espanhol, adotou-se a grafia Iguazú.

The Iguazu River (Portuguese: Rio Iguaçu [ˈʁi.u iɡwaˈsu], Spanish: Río Iguazú [ˈri.o iɣwaˈsu]; also called Rio Iguassu) is a river in Brazil and Argentina. It is an important tributary of the Paraná River. The Iguazu River is 1,320 kilometres (820 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 62,000 square kilometres (24,000 sq mi).

The Iguazu originates in the Serra do Mar coastal mountains of the Brazilian state of Paraná. For 1,205 kilometres (749 mi), to its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu flows west through Paraná State, Brazil. Downriver from the confluence the Iguazu River forms the boundary between Brazil and Argentina's Misiones Province. Continuing west, the river drops off a plateau, forming Iguazu Falls. The falls are within national parks in both Brazil, Iguaçu National Park, and Argentina, Iguazú National Park. It empties into the Paraná River at the point where the borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay join, an area known as the Triple Frontier.
