Iguazu Falls

OK. Last of the slide shows! This is a major pictorial feast, squarely aimed at my Grandmother, the queen of slideshow nights!

We ducked up to Iguazu for 2 nights, not too much to the town, it lies at a river junction the marks the borders to Paraguay & Brazil, from one bank you can see both other countries - neato. And one of the rivers is called Rio Parana, very exotic.

After a tropical start to the day (thunderstorms) we headed out to the park and spent the whole day wandering about taking picture and getting wet, we did a boat ride through the falls which was pretty cool, not much to see though - picture a fire hose in your face... In any case, the waterfalls are amazing!




Paraguay on the left, Brazil on the right

hmmm flood guage - 33m!

that tower is on the other side - Brazil











Glad we had the wide angle lens! This is both of the main sections.

The boat ride under the torrent.
