Parque nacional do Iguacu, Foz do Iguazu, Brasil

---

The Brasilian part of the famous Iguazu falls in Parque Nacional do Iguacu. I was there on Sunday and there were plenty of people, maybe also because on Tuesday there was national holiday in Brasil and all the people left the cities. Nevertheless the view of the falls is spectacular, even if you don't come so close to the falls, but you get a good overview of the size of the falls. It is 275 falls (depending on the year period and the amount of water) from 40 to 80 meters height....

many falls
from the right: Salto Bernabe Mendez (the large one), Salto Mbigua (with two floors), Salto San Martin (the largest one behind the island)

rocks and small falls all around
the water coming out of the rock is from Salto Alvar Nunez in whose laguna it's possible to swim and relax on the beach aside - but the access way was closed the day after when I visited the Argentinian falls because of the storm day before and fallen trees on the path...
