Iguazu falls are a series of over 275 waterfalls spanning a distance of 1.7 miles of the Iguazu river across the borders of Agentina and Brasil. The most famous fall, the devils throat which is accessed from the Argentian side of the falls, is a U shaped waterfall which is 82 metres high, 150m wide and 700m long. The falls have the greatest annual flow of any waterfalls in the world, and are higher and twice as wide as Niagra falls and they have recently won the award of becoming one of the new 7 wonders of nature - just a random thought but can you list correctly any of the 7 wonders? Mum and I have spent ages trying to name the 7 wonders of the ancient world but couldn't complete it without google!
Anyway we visited the falls on two days from both Brasil and Argentina and because I am still in a state of hypnotic waterfall euphoria I cant sort the pictures in to which is which, although I think the sunset ones are Brasil and the rainbows are Argentina. Stood on the platform over looking devils throat you are almost deafened by the roar of water tumbling and crashing beneath you and you are soaked by the mist of the water rising up the throat. There are multiple trails leading you through the jungle to different, breathtaking, view points of the falls and there are beautiful butterflies fluttering around everywhere ( hence why I left a load of butterfly pictures out of the last post!). There honestly arent enough pictures or words for me to show or describe to you the immense beauty and power of Iguazu.
