Save The Planet is my version of the Iguassu Falls, Itaipu Dam, bridges and landclass scenery for FSX.

Portuguese: Cataratas do Iguaçu, Spanish: Cataratas del Iguazu  are waterfalls of the Iguaçu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Parana (in the Southern Region) and the Argentinian Province of Misiones. The Falls are shared between the Iguazu National Park (Argentina) and Iguacu National Park (Brazil). The parks were designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  Enjoy FSX Iguassu Falls scenery! by Cicero Costa.

The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometers (1.67 miles) of the Iguazu River.
Position is at latitude (DMS): 25° 40' 60 S, longitude (DMS): 54° 25' 60 W . 

Some of the individual falls are up to 82 meters (269 ft) in height, though the majority are about 64 metres (210 ft). The Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish or Garganta do Diabo in Portuguese), a U-shaped, 82-meter-high, 150-meter-wide and 700-meter-long (490 by 2300 feet) cataract, is the most impressive of all, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Two thirds of the falls are within Argentine territory. About 900 meters of the 2.7-kilometer length does not have water flowing over it.  The edge of the basalt cap recedes only 3 mm (0.1 in) per year.

The water of the lower Iguazu collects in a canyon that drains in the Paraná River, shortly downstream from the Itaipu dam. The junction of the water flows marks the border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.

Obviously, any digital data would be worthless for FS enthusiasts without the wonderful free software tools to put them into Flight Simulator.  We are very grateful to the authors of the software we used.  Also, many thanks to everyone in the active Flight Simulator community for providing such great and diverse freeware add-ons and active discussion forums.  
Thanks to J for her blank but simpatico stare at my time-consuming 'hobby' ... I love you.
