One of those heart stopping moments again..
We spend two nights here in the Argentinian town of Iguazú to see the falls from the Brazilian and Argentinian sides. Our first view is from Brazil and it's breath-taking. We've seen some fantastic falls in Zimbabwe and Iceland but these are something else! The sheer volume of water, the noise, the drop... We really do have to catch our breath on seeing this.
While the best view is from Brazil, the Argentinian side, for us, was the biggest thrill. The walkways are quite something... we were able to walk right to the edge of some of the falls, obviously getting drenched at times. To put this in perspective, we walked well over a kilometre across the Iguazú river on the walkway before we actually reached the falls themselves; it was slightly disconcerting to pass parts of the walkway that had collapsed in a flood last year. All seemed well constructed and organised though.
Life on the edge...
