Falling Waters of Iguazu

The waterfalls of Iguazu are described as one of the 7 natural Wonders of the Earth. They actually beat the Niagara Falls in terms of water.

The sight of the falls themselves, embedded in untouched rainforest, is truly amazing. However, there is more than that. The abundance of spray in the air creates numerous Rainbows all around the falls. About 500 butterflies in all colors fill the air and land on your shoulder (they are after the salt in human sweat :D). Monkeys and coatis run and play between visitors and somethings fight for some food they find. All together this is a very special place. (It better be, after 17h on the bus one-way :D.

The Walk to the Falls

 

 

 

The first little falls

First sight of the proper falls (well part of them)

It is very popular to do a boat tour into the waterfalls. Of cause, I didn´t want to miss it. Even when you are wearing a raincoat you get soaked to the bones. Good that its warm out here :D

Walk to the top of the Falls

Walk to the Devils Mouth

Done, that was a lot of walking. My feet are sore, but it was really impressive. Much better than my pictures could capture.

 

Finally back to the Hostel, relaxing and enjoying my Cuba Libre
