At the Igauzu waterfalls

The Iguazu falls are located along the Iguazu River, between the border of Brazil and Argentina. There are over 275 waterfalls at this beautiful site, spread along a three kilometer crescent which claims to be among the most dramatic waterfalls in the world.

Beautiful birds fly through rainbows as in a fairy tale, accompanied by the mighty roars of the waters. The falls are twice as tall as Niagara Falls and almost three times wider.

Even though there are several walkways and vintage points, the most fun part was to take a speedboat along the river. It went literally into some of the falls and I got really drenched.

The Brazilian side has the best views and a nice walkway (filled with less than nice mosquitos, I quickly learned), but the largest waterfalls are located on the Argentine side, including the 80 meters Garganta do Diablo (Devil’s Throat).
