Iguazu Falls by Max Le Breton

In northern Argentina, run two big rivers called the Iguazu and the Parana. At a significant stage these two rivers combine and powerfully drop off a ledge, which creates the almighty Iguazu Falls. Not only are these falls amazing to walk around, but they can also be experienced by boat, train and even helicopter.

         The forest-covered paths around Iguacu go through humid, stiflingly hot, but beautiful trails, that are butterfly-filled. As recommended you should bring lots of drinking water and prepare for really hot weather and lots and lots and lots of sweating.

It was SO hot and humid, we were exhausted!

        

There are two boat rides; one goes under the falls and the other goes over. The one that goes under cost 200 Pesos but is worth it. First you go close to the falls and get some really good photos. There is an island that was accessible until a devastating flood destroyed everything on it. On this boat trip you circle the island once… but the second time you put your camera away and prepare for an almighty shower.

         The other boat trip is 100 Pesos and in this trip you take a train to the Devils Throat, which was also destroyed in the flood. Then you get on a long rubber paddle boat and start paddling down stream. You will get close to the edge of the falls but from a safe distance so you don’t see the drop or go flying off it.

         Many may think that Iguazu is a World Wonder, sadly its not. After exploring this breath-taking scene, I think it deserves to be its own World Wonder! Thousands of people come for the day to see a sight they will never forget, including me.
