Iguazu Falls

The "Cataratas del Iguazu" are located at the very northern edge of Argentina, at the boarder between Argentina and Brazil.  The falls, as a whole, are the second largest falls in the world by looking at the water flow (Niagara falls has the largest average annual water flow) and the expansion of the area of the falls (Southern Africa's Victoria Falls has the widest curtain of water). Iguazu would be wider but it's split up in about 275 separate falls along 2.7km of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 metres in height, though the majority are about 64 metres. Enough facts. Just being there and seeing them felt amazing and unreal, like we were in a fairy tail or movie or something.

Quiet flowing water before it drops down the largest part called the Devil's Throat or "Garganta del Diablo." You can see the mist of the huge falls in the background of the picture above.

Standing at the top of the Devil's Throat is crazy. So much power! There is water racing down the cliff 260 degrees around you and you get soaking wet within the first minute standing there. It's a U-shaped, 150-metre-wide, and 700-metre-long cliff.

Lot's of Coati's in the area. No, the racoon like animals aren't shy at all. They are pretty sneaky in fact and tried to get food out of my backpack.

 The background looks unreal, doesn't it?

 Rainbows everywhere : )
