Iguazu Falls, Argentina

The Iguazu (Argentine Spanish spelling) Falls are a spectacular collection of waterfalls bordered by three South American countries; Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. We visited Iguazu (Argentina) on the afternoon of 29 January after a 1 hour 45 minute flight from Buenos Aires. Later that afternoon we drove across the nearby border into Brazil.

The next morning we visited the Iguassu (Brazilian Portuguese spelling) Falls to view what he had seen in Argentina from the opposite perspective.

Sounds repetitive? It was spectacular. I do not possess the words to describe the experience but I suggest you visit, at least once in your lifetime.

This post has images from the Argentine side. The next post (the next morning) will be from Brazil.

Here are the Argentine images.

Initial travel by train to protect the National Park
Then walk along bridges to key scenic spots
First indication of Devil's Fall
Tremendous power
Widespread spray, prepare to be drenched
Further collection of falls
Another perspective, another section
These photos don't do justice to the sights in real life but the view from across the border the next morning is really something even in my images. They will be posted later today but first I need a break and a drink by the hotel pool. I'll be back.
