Iguaze Falls


It took us 26hours to get from Rio to Foz De Iguazu and after that we had to cross the border into Argentina. The evening we arrived there was a massive all you can eat asado (bbq), very popular in Argentina. This particular one had a brazillian dance show with samba music, a drummer and two women samba dancing dressed in little more than a few big feathers. They got all of us up to dance too, taught us some samba steps and sent us sambering through the resturant.

The Iguaze Falls themselves were incredible. We began by walking through the green trail, which is a track through the jungle to get to the viewing points of the waterfall. There where 250 waterfalls to see- from the lower level you could get close enough to get soaked by the nearest waterfall and from the higher level there was great overall view. The definate highlight was getting a speed boat around the waterfalls where we got so close to them that at one point I thought that we were going to be suck under- so much fun, lots of screaming and cheering. There was a train ride to La Garganta Del Diablo (the devil's throat) where we saw the most powerful waterfalls forming a horse shoe shape.
