Iguazu Falls


A couple of weeks ago I took a trip to Foz de Iguazu, some of the largest waterfalls in the world.  (They are certainly the largest in South America, and while Africa’s Victoria Falls are taller, Iguazu Falls pour out much more water.) They lie just an hour or so east of Paraguay’s border with Brazil and Argentina.
Unfortunately, I went through torrential downpours, but it was still an incredible sight.



If any of you dear readers hope to see it some day, I can't recommend the place enough. I stayed and viewed the falls from the Argentinian side, called Puerto Iguazu. Brazil owns part of the falls, but as far as I could tell, all of the prime views and best trails are in Argentina. So here's a goofy photo of me and a couple of snaps of the falls.
