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)

    1. How sweet. Patrice and I loved our dinner with Chuck and you. I remember sitting outside by the Erie Canal when just a couple of hours earlier we were afraid to drive because the visibility was so poor due to the rain.

  1. Wonderful. Fantastic. Great you and Patrice were able to visit one of the top sites in the world, and to stay in a hotel with a view. The Brazil side is equally spectacular.

  2. Spectacular! Definitely a place on my list but darn it, I have way too many places on my list 🙂
    Heading for the Medina in Marrakech and the Alhambra in Granada in a few days. This is when I need a blog expert like you to record all the memories.
