Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Iguazu Falls — The entry states the site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013, but Iguazú National Park was inscribed in 1984.

Iguazu Falls — The entry states the Iguazu River begins near the center of Curitiba, but the river's source is in the Serra do Mar near Curitiba, not 'near the center' of the city.

Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba — The estancia 'San Ignacio' is not one of the six estancias of the Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba World Heritage site; the correct six are Caroya, Jesús María, Santa Catalina, Alta Gracia, Candelaria, and San Ignacio Miní (the latter is in Misiones, not

Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba — The distance range '38 to 130 km' is incorrect; the estancias are located between approximately 30 km (Alta Gracia) and 80 km (Jesús María) from Córdoba city, not up to 130 km.

Los Alerces National Park — The total area is given as 258,822 hectares (187,379 ha national park + 71,443 ha national reserve), but the official UNESCO listing and Argentine park administration state the total area as 263,000 hectares (188,379 ha national park + 74,621 ha national reser

Los Alerces National Park — The lowest point is stated as 330 m where the Futaleufú River crosses into Chile, but the actual lowest point is approximately 300 m (the river's elevation at the border is around 300 m according to topographic data).

Los Glaciares National Park — The park's ice cap is described as 'the largest outside of Antarctica, Greenland and Iceland', but the Southern Patagonian Ice Field is not the largest outside those areas because ice caps in the Canadian Arctic (e.g., Ellesmere Island) are larger.

Nuestra Señora de Loreto — The claim that Nuestra Señora de Loreto was the first Jesuit reduction established in the Province of Paraguay is incorrect; the first was San Ignacio Guazú, founded in 1609.

Nuestra Señora de Loreto — The claim that the printing press produced translations of the Bible is misleading; there is no widely accepted evidence of a full Bible translation, and the most famous printed work is the 'Arte de la lengua guaraní' by Antonio Ruiz de Montoya.

Nuestra Señora de Santa Ana — The mission was founded in 1633, but the correct founding year is 1637.

Perito Moreno Glacier — The glacier is misleadingly presented as currently known as 'Francisco Gormaz or Bismarck Glacier', whereas those names were historical and are not widely recognized today.

Perito Moreno Glacier — The glacier's origins are stated to be 'also in the Magallanes Region of Chile', but the glacier itself is entirely within Argentina and does not originate in Chile.

San Ignacio Miní — The mission was founded in 1609, not 1610.
