It was a full day in Iquazu Falls Park today. The correct pronunciation is "e wa zoo". This is one of the “New 7 wonders of Nature”. Sorry to say, Niagara Falls is nice but…….

We started seeing the largest waterfall, Devil's Throat. Not as large as Horseshoe Falls in Niagara but this is just one of over 200 falls that make up the Park. There is a long metal walkway over the river. As you can see, we are VERY close to the falls. We were actually too close to get a good picture of the falls. I guess the best view is from Brazil and we didn't have Visas for that. They say to see the falls, go to Brazil, to experience the falls, you need to be in Argentina.

Next was walk along the older path to see several waterfalls. Many are very impressive. Put them all together and they are very impressive. With the sub-tropic vegetation, they are spectacular.

After lunch in the park, we did a “Jungle Tour” that ended at the river's edge. The Maid of the Mist is nothing compared to the boat ride we were on. On the Maid you get wet from the

spray, on this boat ride, they put you under some of the smaller falls.

Sorry Niagara, Iguazu has got you beat!
