Main Falls

from lower platform, brazilian side

Iguazu Falls and National Park...largest waterfalls in south america, unfortunately it was dry season, but impressive nonetheless. On the border between Argentina and Brazil (and Paraguay, but does not border the falls), i saw the argentine side first, then returned to the brazilian side after my trip through paraguay. Everybody has their own opinion on which side is best for viewing, Argentina´s side is much higher and closer to the falls, while brazils platform is lower and in the canyon, giving a frontal view. Personally i preferred being right up close on the argentina platform. The climate is subtropical rainforest, and both Arg and Brazil have national parks with trails in addition to the falls. I got some great wildlife shots of colorful and strange animals, thanks in part to help from the local bakery!
