The Iguacu Falls

Foz is the closest town to the famous Iguacu Falls. The falls straddle Brazil and Argentina and consist of over 270 separate waterfalls. I don't think there are enough words to describe them when you first catch sight of them –stunning, awesome, spectacular, deafening (when you get right up to The Devil´s Throat) all apply. We visited both sides of the falls – on the Brazilian side I took a helicopter flight (my first ever!) over the top. The views were fabulous and you get a real sense of the size of them. On the Argentinian side I took a boat ride right up to one of the slightly smaller falls and got an absolute soaking. That was actually quite nice as temperatures were in the 30s! I´m not sure how many photos I took but there seemed to be a photo opportunity around every corner that was even better than the last.
