Iguazu Falls



This was the highlight of our trip to Argentina: Iguazu Falls. It's in the northern part of the country, and the falls and river are part of the border with Argentina and Brazil.

The falls themselves stretch something like 2 kilometers across and they are very impressive.

The picture below is a long walk from the picture at the right. The picture on the right is called the Devil's Throat because of the churning water.
You can see some of the mist that soaks people with the volume of water just pouring down.

Since the falls are farther north, even though it was winter in Argentina (it was a wee bit chilly in Buenos Aires at times) it was nice and warm at the falls and we had a blast hiking around on the trails.
