FALLING FOR IGUASSU

Judging by the sound and the humidity in the air as we stepped off our transfer van , we knew we must be close to the famous Iguazzu Falls . The roar of the water crashing down over the basalt ridge could be heard for miles!



Located in the far north eastern tip of Argentina, the Iguazzu river divides Argentina and Brazil before it splits into many channels and islands. It then plunges over the basalt ridge in a series of dramatic falls, and swirling cauldrons of spray streching over 3 kilometres.



The most dramatic is the Devils Throat where we all enjoyed a refreshing spray to help us cool down.



Here is Rory on the Argentinian side at the Devils Throat where you can view the falls from the top.











On the Brazilian side, the walkways take you right out to the centre of the Devils Throat where you can really appreciate the force of the water and the spray it throws up.

The most exciting excursion was the boat trip up the river to the bottom of the falls. Having donned swimming costumes for this outing the driver didn't dissappoint taking us right up and into the mist of the falls getting us all thoroughly and refreshingly soaking wet! The boat ride through the rapids wasn't bad either!
