The BIG Falls!






After our bus trip across the country we arrived at Iguazu Falls, on the border of Argentina and Brazil. We were only here for one day, and then were heading back across the country to cross into Bolivia. So for one day, we bussed about 55 hours. The good part is it was well worth it. The falls were amazing, and the viewing areas are really well set up. They have paths going all over the park, but unfortunately the island was closed while we were there because the water level was too high. You can see them from above, below, and right underneath (boat). Along the paths we saw a bunch of butterflies (huge!), a toucan, and a bunch of furry little Coatis that have striped tails and sloth like claws. Apparently they have learned about people feeding them - there was a woman that was actually petting one even though there were signs all over the park saying don't touch them because they can bite and scratch you.

They were by far the biggest falls we have ever seen. We even took the boat that goes under them, and gets you completely soaked, but was really fun.
