Exists in this city a  very particular private museum called “Images de la Selva", works in a building belonging to the Ob ispate of Iguazú and whose  sample belongs to Rodolfo Allou (Great-nephew of Jules Verne, who lived in this area and became involved with the history and customs of the Guarani). It is they exhibit numerous wood carvings that represent anthropomorphic figures, animals typical of this place,  the characters that lived in the fronds, the original professions and details of the life of the Jesuit missions. You can also see figures of Guarani legends.

 

Thick guatambú knots, araucaria slices and pieces of peteriby constitute the raw material used to create the valuable heritage of around 300 works of art. Among the exhibited works are“ Future mother ”( portrait of a pregnant aboriginal), "Paraguayan Chiperita", "Woman bitten by a viper" (carved in a single piece of cancharana), the representation of a missionary ax and profiles of the folk singer Jorge Cafrune and the writer  Horacio Quiroga, another in love with wild nature.

 

The Allou Museum is located 5 kilometers from the center of Iguazú, it can be reached renting a car and driving for 11 minutes along National Route 12 until the signposting of the place.
