Iguazu Falls, Argentina

For me this was, next to Machu Picchu, the highlight of the South American trip. I struggle to see anything being more amazing than this set of amazing water falls. Iguazu falls is an area of 250 waterfalls with huge amounts of power. They are apparently the most powerful waterfalls in the world and we managed to catch them at there most powerful point which occurs once every four years. While we were there 6,000 cubic metres of water was flowing over the falls every second. It's a lot of water and makes a lot of noise but I could have sat and watched it for hours on end. I didn't want to leave this truly amazing place at the end of the day. A lot of photos just to try and get a perspective but to really get the full brunt you need to see it for yourself.

Standing toward the base of one of the smaller falls. Because of the power we couldn't go right to the end of the plat form but here I got absolutly drenched.


Went on a jet boat and zoomed around the base of some of the falls. Again got drenched but managed to get some good pictures when the camera could come out. This here is just again a small portion of the falls.

Posing in front of some falls now standing up on top of them. A walkway went a long way across the top of the falls and at points you could look straight down the waterfall. The falls are curling right behind me stretching for ages.

Here I was standing on a platform where the fall was not only in front of me but falling from underneath me as well.

Looking across some of the 250 falls!

'Garganta del Diablo' The trail to 'The Devils Throat'. This is the largest waterfall of Iguazu Falls and it alone has 2,000 cubic metres of water flowing over it every second. Seeing this amount of water fall over a drop all at once is something special and extremely loud.

To get to 'The Devils Throat' we walked a boardwalk across part of the river supplying the large waterfall. It was a kilometre walk and we were only about half way across it. This picture is approaching the falls.

Repping the chiefs jersey at 'The Devils Throat'!

Looking across the horse shoe shaped falls to the water plumbiting. Pictures do not do the volumes justice.

Looking to the falls directly beside us. We are again standing on top of the water fall so can see the water dropping from directly beneath us.

This video shows 'The Devils Throat's' power a bit better but you need to be there to really capture the power!
