Iguazu Falls

After Bonito Reid and I caught an overnight bus to the city of Foz De Iguazu. This is a small tourist town located on the boarder's of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. We arrived in the early morning and took the short trip to the famous Iguazu Falls. The falls are shared by Brazil and Argentina with each offering different views, we decided to visit the Brazilian side first since it is easier and we were tired. I have never seen a large waterfall before and the sight of these 250 different waterfalls all in one valley was quite incredible. The majority of the time Reid and I just walked in silence just trying to take in all of the different views and stopping just long enough to take some pictures. It was a quick little busride from the town. In the town of Foz de Iguazu there really is not much else to do but visit the waterfalls and travel to Argentina and Paraguay so it was a good thing we were there just long enough to see the waterfall from both sides.
The following morning Reid and I scheduled a bus to visit the Argentinian side of the waterfall. Which, to the objection of only a few Brazilians, is by far the better of the two views. We crossed the border and got yet another stamp for the old passport and we were off. What makes the views from this side of the falls much better is the fact that you are so close to the different falls. The paths take you in, on, and around many waterfalls; were as the Brazil side just offers you great long distance photo opportunities.

All the littler falls surrounding the valley are impressive, but the main attraction is the large one called "The Devil's Throat". This was pretty incredible, it is so large that it is almost impossible to take a good photo because of all the mist and water you get sprayed with. We crossed the boarder back to Brazil and caught another overnight bus, this time heading to the coast. Next stop Ilha do Mel.
