Waterfall!!!

Iguazu Falls is a huge system of waterfalls that is shared between Brazil and Argentina to create one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.  Much more impressive than Niagra Falls in NY and not even a comparison with Venezuela's Angel Falls, this was a great two day adventure on the border between Brazil and Argentina. Both countries claim to have the better side, but as far as I am concerned, why argue?  Both are impressive for different reasons.

The Brazil side is great because you are able to view all the waterfalls from afar and get a perspective of everything.

This is the closest view of the waterfalls in Brazil. There is a path the ends at the side of the waterfall and a catwalk to get you in front of the Devil's Throat:

The Argentine side is great because you get to be upclose to all the individual waterfalls. They even built catwalks above the waterfalls, so you get to stand above the water as it cascades down below.

To get above the Devil's Throat, a set of catwalks are built that measure about one kilometer long.

you can see the Brazilian side at the top right of this photo

The Falls are located in a rainforest that is not part of the Amazon.  A buncha animals, spiders, funghi, butterflies and insects can be found.

look closely- in the water is a caimon ('gator)  and on a leaf in the center of the photo is a  dragonfly
