Iguazú Falls

07th July 2010

The impressive Iguazú Falls between Argentina and Brazil, consists of some 275 separate falls.  The most spectacular is the Devil´s Throat, a powerful torrent of water plunging down a narrow gorge, wetting viewers with rising mist.  On the Argentine side there are many walking trails to view the falls from all aspects.

.

We took the thrilling boat ride under the falls getting completely soaked.  We encountered monkeys, coatis, caimen, birds and many colourful butterflies in the park.  Our day finished with a tranquil float down a calmer part of the river sunnounded by jungle.
