Bom dia amigos!
Just a few pix from my recent trip to South America. I started out with the intention of spending more time in Brazil but changed course and ended up in the north of Argentina after a detour through Paraguay. However, the 2 highlights of the trip, Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janiero, were in Brazil.

Hope to see many of you soon!

You get kind of soaked at that lookout.

At the Garganta del Diablo... Devil's Throat. Pictures simply do not do it justice.

Rainbows are ever present because of all the mist. There's a very small boat center left (above the falls!) to provide some sort of perspective on the scale.
