Iguazu Falls

Iguazu

Iguazu falls sits at the junction between Paraguy, Brazil and Argentina. It is the fourth widest waterfall in the world and the second most popular attraction in Brazil, according to trip advisor.

Our first sight of Iguazu was from the motor boat we took up the river. Joe and I both were in awe at its size, though we were well aware that it was going to be huge. The boat we were in took us right up the river, over the rapids, and to the base of the falls. From there, we knew we were going to get wet. A glorious shower awaited us. The driver took us right into the splashing water and we were instantly drenched. The crashing noises were the only thing we could hear. 
Sufficiently soaked and very pleased, we spent the rest of our day admiring the falls from the various board walks and view points. Entire arcs of rainbows filled the sky when conditions were right and the constant rumbling noise was peaceful and very energetic. Iguazu falls was unlike anything I've ever seen and it was a beautiful day spent in the national park. 
(I'll try to post a picture of it but if that doesn't work, I recommend googling it so you can have a glimpse of its beauty :)
