Iguazu Falls

Today was our day to head out and explore the magnificent Iguazu falls. Just a little background, the Iguazu Falls are situated at the border of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. The falls are only in Argentina and Brazil. They are absolutely massive and make Niagara Falls look tiny.

Upon arriving there, it began raining very shortly after. It absolutely POURED the entire time we were there. It broke my amazing stretch of weather dating back to NZ and Australia. Fernando, Linda, Colin, John, Sara, Jeremy and I all went together. The day consisted of several very long hikes to see different views of the falls. It is amazing how wide and vast the falls are. Go take a look at some photos on the web because my words won´t do it justice. In addition to the hikes, we took a speed boat ride that took us under the falls. Fantastic and thrilling. The icing on the cake was the train ride that led us to Gargantua de Diablo (Devils Throat) MASSIVE AND AWE INSPIRING. This part of the falls left us all speechless.

After an awesome day, it was wonderful to get back and get a shower and dry out. Tonight, we are having an Argentine BBQ. Tomorrow we leave Iguazu and Argentina and head to Brazil for Campo Grande, Bonito and the Pantanal.

Hope all is well back home.
