Iguazu Falls
A full view of the falls from the "lower circuit" We left Buenos Aires and flew directly to Iguazu Falls. Initally we planned on seeing both the Argentinian and Brazilian side of the falls, however, the Brazilian embassy in SF was nice enough to put Chris on a 30 day waitlist for a visa appointment (despite their being only 1 person in line when he visited). Despite the lack of a 360 degree view of the falls, the Argentinian side was still spectacular. We stayed right in the park (thank you SPG points!!) which meant we pretty much rolled out of bed and into the falls. We spent 2 days exploring both the lower and upper falls and then the 3rd day taking a jet boat trip pretty much right up to the falls themselves, getting thoroughly drenched in the process.
On a previous trip, we saw Victoria Falls in both Zambia and Zimbabwe. Both waterfalls are amazing in their own rights. The sheer size of Victoria is incredible while the volume of water and lack of safety standards of Iguazu make for some pretty amazing memories

The Devil's Maw (?) is one of the most awe-inspiring parts of nature I've ever experienced. Love the before and after pics :)
