Iguassu Falls

Ok, they are big...really big!

We have been there 3 times, once on the Brazilian side and twice on Argentinian side.

There is so much to do, walks at all levels to see the falls from below, half way up and from the top and from an island. We also did a walk out to a small fall where we could go swimming. The water was freezing though, but I still got in.

The falls themselves are much bigger than I expected. There are 2 different big falls and we saw the small one first and were a bit sort of...is this it? Then we saw the big one and went ...oh wow, this is awesome!

There is a huge volume of water going over falls and really it is too spectacular to try and describe.

We decided on the get wet option which involved going in a boat under the smaller of the falls, the spray was awesome and we got totally drenched.
