Iguazu Falls, Argentinian Side
Like many locations on this trip, our expectations have been totally exceeded by our visit to the Iguazu Falls. The size of the falls in terms of width and number of separate waterfalls is staggering. The weather was partly cloudy on the first day, which made for some spectacular views and photographs, and many rainbows as the sun broke through the clouds. The infrastructure around the falls is very good - to cope with the number of visitors which was over bearing in places. We visited the falls again today, but caught the earliest bus there before the main tour groups arrived, and were the second group in after a belgian backpacker. The three of us all headed on a 3km forest trail which we had to ourselves for two hours. A beautiful morning walk, and this time we had a great sighting of two wild toucans.
