IGUAZU FALLS IN ARGENTINA


Here we are in Argentina with Paraguay across the Parana river to the left and Brazil across  the Iguazu river to the right




Another picture of the falls


There is a rainbow in the picture but not sure how well it shows

Who can tell me this animals name?

We walked about two kilometers along catwalks to get to the Devis Throat - got nervouse when we saw that an old portion had collapsed into the river above the falls





.
ABSOLUTELY  AWESOME TO THINK ABOUT THE VOLUME OF WATER GOING OVER THESE MASSIVE FALLS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME!


WE WERE SO VERY LUCKY TO BE HERE THE DAY AFTER A MASSIVE RAINFALL




CAN  YOU SEE THE RAINBOW?

WHO NEEDS A SHOWER WHEN YOU WALK OUT UNDER THE FALLS...WE BOTH WALKED OUT TO THE END BUT COULDN´T FIND ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE OUR PIX!


DEVIL,S THROAT...ON THE ARGENTINE SIDE OF THE FALLS YOU CAN WALK OVER THE TOP OF MANY FALLS, OVER THE RUSHING RIVER AND GET THIS CLOSE TO THE POUNDING WATER!


THE DEVIL´S  THROAT  - JUST AN UNBELEIVABLE AMOUNT OF WATER FALLING WITH TREMENDOUS NOISE AND POWER
