a footbridge leads you right to where the wet action is.
now that is a magnificent view
our first glimpse of the falls behind San Martin Island. Note the rainbow!
a nosy coati checks if we have brought some food.
the guide explains the lay of the lands
at the Devil's Throat the water drops 80 meters. That boardwalk on the Argentinean side brings you up close
aboard a helicopter you get a better picture of the sheer size of Iguazu Falls
the Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side
On the Brazilian side the Iguazu Falls are situated in the
Parque Nacional do Iguacu. From the main entrance a bus will bring
you to the scene. Here a foot path winds along the edge that will provide you with clear views of all the falls.
Watch for
Coati,
the long-nosed relative of the Raccoon.
There are fantastic panoramas, and when the sun shines, Mother Nature will add magic
rainbows for free.
The piece de resistance is a footbridge that leads to a (wet) viewpoint perched right over the
cliff.
From here you have stunning views of the Garganta del Diablo and the other falls. An elevator will bring you to even
higher grounds for a dramatic view over the thundering Devil's Throat.
Daring folks can top it off with a most impressive helicopter-ride
over the falls and its surroundings.
To get in the Brazilian mood you may want to attend a dinner show at Rafaim Churrascaria
in
Foz do Iguacu.
We visited in March 2008, enjoyed the show and were stunned by the fantastic views of Iguazu Falls.
Before we visit the falls, we attend the Rafaim Churrascaria dinner show in Foz do Iguacu
the next morning: transportation into the park is by bus only
we will ride that zodiac down there later in the day!
