Day 89. Iguazu Falls, Argentina.

After enjoying the falls from the Brazilian side, it was time to explore the Argentinian side. We started out taking the park train to the catwalk...





that would get us close to the largest fall...Devil's Throat...











...quite a powerful falls...





...it was hard to keep your camera lens clear, as the mist rises above the falls, and sprays onto the catwalk...even more so than on the Brazilian catwalk, as here you are right over top of this, the most powerful of the falls.






There were lots of butterflies along the catwalk, many of which kept landing on me...this one on my shoe...






After enjoying the views of the falls, we opted to take the boat back rather than the train...





...and it was a nice, relaxing ride, away from the maddening crowd, with our guide...






....who showed us some of the flora and fauna, and the caimans which are like little alligators...






...the butterflies were hitching a ride on this one...






We went to view all of the falls from a different vantage point on the "upper circuit."










Then we took this open truck through a part of the jungle....






...before hopping on the boat...






...to get up even more close and personal to the falls....



















After this shot, we put our cameras away, as they take you right up under the falls and you get soaked (I could have done without that part, as it wasn't that warm out :-). Then we walked along the "lower circuit" for some additional shots before heading back to our hotel.















On the truck/boat part of the trip, We met a woman from London who was doing a similar, six month trip around the world! She was the first person I've met doing it who isn't in their 20's, so it was interesting swapping stories.

Another great dinner before hitting the sack for the night!
