The Mission – Argentina

This film, set in the 18th century, stars Jeremy Irons as Spanish Jesuit priest on a mission in South America, who is joined by Robert De Niro, a reformed slave hunter, to try to prevent a remote native tribe from being enslaved by the Portuguese.

The waterfall scenes from this chilling tale of colonialism put a natural wonder known as Iguazu Falls on the map. Located on the borders of Argentina and Brazil, Iguazu Falls is the largest natural waterfall system in the world, and is said to put Niagara Falls to shame.

Iguazu Falls was also used as a location for films such as Captain America: Civil War, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Mr. Magoo. But most recently, you may have seen it in box office smash hit Black Panther, which used aerial footage of Iguazu Falls to create the CGI waterfall scene in mythical Wakanda.

Visitors who travel either to either the Argentinian or Brazilian side of the falls will not be disappointed by the incredible views. But be prepared for lines at the wooden walkways built out into the water to give you the best photography spots.
