The Amazing Iguazu Falls.

---

We caught our first glimpse of the Falls from the air as we flew in. Caught the 1st bus out to the park this morning to beat the hoards of tourists! From the Argentinian side there is km´s of walking tracks which weave through the forest to viewing points of the Falls, both high and low. These Falls are spectacular, hence soo many pics! The shear volume of water that drops over is phenonimal, the thundering sound deafening, and the spray of water droplets would drench ya if you hung around long enough. We also took a boat ride which took us up the caynon and provided what is know as the "2nd most important baptism". We went right under the water falls of the Salta San Martin, not once, not twice, but 3 times, which was exhilarating and extremely refreshing!!!! The entire day was spent at the park, a buffet lunch at the Sheraton Hotel overlooking the Falls was enjoyed in the company of two Canadian girls we met on the trail. We finished the day with a 3.6km walk (each way) through the forest to another waterfall of which the pool at the bottom could be swum in. We also saw many monkey´s swinging through the forest canopy. Leaving town tomorrow, next stop...Salta.
