Iguacu Falls...the second largest waterfall in the world by volume. It is absolutely spectacular! We have been here on the Argentina and Brazil borders for the last two days observing the falls, the first day from the Brazilian side and the second from Argentina.
We spent Tuesday in the Uruguayan border, going to a hot springs and each having cheap massages...both relazing and nice.
Tuesday night, we took the overnight bus from Uruguay, back into Argentina, and to the border city of Foz do Iguacu.
Iguacu Falls has over 250 falls spread over a 1.7 mile area, each dropping approximately 230 feet. The falls were "up" on our visit so the views and walks were amazing.
We took panoramic shots. We did catwalks above the falls. We took a jungle float through the rain forest and finally we took the riverboat below the falls right up to the foot of the spray (just like the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls).
Iguacu is definitely the highlight of the trip and in my top 3 experiences ever.
Oh..and it's HOT here. Try about 95 degrees the last two days with heat indices probably around 105...and sunny skies. Air conditioning is only marginally functional too. Tomorrow we have a couple of activities planned and then over 20 hours of bus connections to our next destination.
Below: our approach by boat. I had the put the camera up in a dry bag at this point because there wasn't a stitch of dry clothing on me after we made our first pass.

I can see why this is on your list of top places ever visited! Amazing
I love all your pictures, they are wonderful. And your trip sounds fabulous. Everything at the Falls, especially, is absolutely gorgeous! Could I dream up any more adjectives?
Have a great trip with the time remaining and I look forward to hearing more about it when you return.
Take care.
