Iguazu Falls

You know the idea, there is a river with a lot of water and when gravity pulls it over a large cliff it creates quite a nice visual effect. This is a little more than that though. The park is pretty big and the entire falls span about a mile long. Trails go throughout the park and in the middle is an island with a beach on it. We spend 2 days there. The first was spent walking above the falls and over to look at the Garganta del Diablo, or Devils“s Throat. Its an amazing spectacle and quite dizzying staring into it, but the second day spent under the falls was unforgetable. Boats tour you up the river a couple miles and take you under the waterfalls. You basically get drenched and get the best view of the falls and then they drop you off at the beach.

The place seemed like it was from another world. With out a doubt the most natural beauty I have ever seen
