I usually like to follow a chronological order when I write about my traveling but when describing our experience at Foz de Iguacu, one of the New Natural Seven Wonders of the World, I have to start by telling you about the flooding and how the torrential rains made our trip to Iguacu Falls a unique, quasi supernatural experience!

I am a 36-year old language teacher, currently working in Beijing. I was born in France but China has been my home for many years. I taught French and English in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, for 6 years. I never thought I would stay in China for such a long time but it’s been an amazing experience! Professionally speaking, teaching Chinese students is extremely rewarding. They are so hard-working and eager to learn new things. And then China… there aren’t enough words to describe this intricate (hence fascinating) country. “China is not to be liked or disliked: i... full info

Dave, it was very special. Made us feel very tiny.
I'm running out of words to describe this amazing experience.

A mighty roar!
Speechless-I love the photo with your parents' hands over their mouths-so funny! How lucky you were able to see such a mighty spectacle, hear such a mighty thunder and not get caught in the downpour that produced it! Hard to imagine all those walkways under water--wow, really a unique experience! Love those cheeky coati, too, and best wishes getting back when it's 33 times less powerful.

Thanks for your comment, Tara!
We were extremely lucky to witness this breathtaking roar. I read later on that 500 000 people were affected by the floods. How many died in Parana, Argentina or Paraguay? As we were driving to Foz, we got caught in a very serious downpour and the road disappeared for a a minute. It was so scary in our little rental car... Would have sucked on my bike!

Having taken many photos of the falls from that platform. This really puts the scale of the extra water in perspective! Incredible.

Dear Ali, Crazy sight it is!
I can't wait to go back in a few years and take photos from the same spots. Where are you based, Ali? I was looking at your blog entries (incredible!) just a few days ago but realized you hadn't published on TB in a while.
