Iguazu Falls are often listed as one of the must do´s for South America and they did not disappoint.  We spent a couple days on both the Argentina and Brazilian sides to ensure that everyone got their fill of the positive attitude that encompasses you due to the positive ions emitted by the falling masses of water.  Iguazu is actually a collection of 275 individual falls along 3 kilometers of the Iguazu river.  The most impressive portion is the Devil´s th...

Having to finally leave our apartment in Buenos Aires we needed something to kick start our travels again, so we decided to jump on a 19 hour bus ride and headed to Puerto Iguazu at the junction of the Argentinian, Brazilian and Paraguayian borders.  The Iguazu Falls are one of the most spectacular sights that we've come across.   Wider and taller then Niagara, Iguazu is one of the largest falls in the world, and they definately lived up to it.We got the first bus and managed t...

Look, I can"t be bothered to go on too much about how beautiful, majestic and downright enormous Iguazu Falls are. I may well post some photos at some point so you can have a snapshot view. However, the bare bone facts are as follows: the Brazilian side is good for a panoramic view but the Argentinian side is the one to go for if you don"t have time for both.

What is the best country in South America? Perhaps, all of us have their own opinion concerning this subject.

Argentina 2005

Exploring Argentina.. without really realizing how large she is!

Spent 5 days in Rio de Janeiro, went to the local forest, the old imperial capital Petropolis and then spent three days at Iguassu Falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina and Paraguay. Pics are my wife (pregnant with Claire at the time) and me.

Beautiful. Just breath-taking. The Argentinian side definitely tops the Brazilian side - there are more trails and more views. There's also a dock from which boats take tourists right up to the falls. Iguacu is the longest falls in the world at ~1.5 km, while Niagara has the largest volume of water per unit time and Victoria is the tallest, I believe.
