The Road to Rio Day #10 “The Iguazu Falls”

Fantastic, stupendous, life changing, awe inspiring.  Yes the hotel has fixed the Wifi and I am back online.  Oh, and we saw the Iguazu Falls too. That was also pretty good.

The Falls were very impressive.  I loved the Niagara Falls (refer to Hall of Fame Road Tour in 2013) but the Iguazu Falls are a much different experience.  Niagara has 3 falls (Horseshoe, American and Bridal) and they are all quite spectacular.  Iguazu is made up of 275 falls which by comparison dwarfs Niagara.  Today we viewed the Falls from the Argentinian side.  Our guide, Virginia, did a phenomenal job of showing us all the sights and making a warm and humid day quite relaxing.   Virginia also had a wealth of information to add to our enjoyment of the day.  I hope you enjoy the photos but as I have said before they just don’t do the sight justice.

Tomorrow we visit Iguazu from the Brazilian side.

As a side note, our hotel is amazing.  It is situated in the park and we have a view of a few of the falls.   The staff cannot do enough for us. The room is spectacular.  Also we are never alone because there always seems to be some sort of bug on our bed or in the shower.  Hey, don’t get agitated we are in a rain forest and we are in their home not vice versa.

Ciao, Ciao (forgot to mention the Italian immigrant influence is very strong in Argentina and this is how people say goodbye)
