Clues: 2. The waterfall’s name comes from the metal that gives the stratigraphic rocks a pinkish hue. The metal thus hints at the presence of oxygen when these Mesoproterozoic rocks deposited. 3. The park is located in a country well-known for its mineral and agricultural resources. Recently, the country has been a formidable negotiator affecting conditions for U.S.-led efforts to create a free trade zone in the Americas.

Clues: 1. Seven-hundred-foot-high cliffs mark this feature, the most southwesterly point of the host nation. The feature is actually a tiny island attached to the mainland by a suspension bridge that is 172 feet long and 150 feet above sea level. 2. Viewed from the bridge, this feature is found in a pervasive sandstone unit of Devonian age that is somewhat misleading in nomenclature. 3. The feature hosts a 100-year-old lighthouse that is rumored to be the last light seen by the Titanic.
Name the feature and its location.
