amethyst mine -Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz often used as an ornament. The name comes from the Hellènic a- ("not") and methustos ("to intoxicate"), a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness; the ancient GreeksRomans wore amethyst and made drinking vessels of it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication.
Iguasu falls - Legend has it that a god planned to marry a beautiful aborigine named Naipí, who fled with her mortal lover Tarobá in a canoe. In rage, the god sliced the river creating the waterfalls, condemning the lovers to an eternal fall.
