Day 69-70 Iguazu Falls

Finally we arrived in Puerto Iguazu, a small town at the Argentinian-Brazilian border, where there's nothing special to see except for the Iguazu Falls. For the first time in many days we stayed at a good hotel, this time with swimming pool, internet, air conditioning and even tv!



On our second day we went to the national park where the falls are located. The Iguazu Falls are huge, they occupy the 4th place in South America and are much bigger than the Niagara Falls in the US.




Some hundred meters before actually seeing the falls you start to hear and discover them slowly before you get to see the biggest one, the so called "devil's throat".
















In the background you can see the devil's throat... and the second picture is seen from the top of it.





We got on a boat that took us under one the falls (a small one of course!) but we couldn't take pictures otherwise our camera would be unusable for the rest of the trip! As the temperature is over 30C, the ride is great!!

Since we were in the middle of the rainforest, we watched a lot of animals.

Bon j'ai déjà mis un commentaire mais comme il tarde pas mal à s'afficher, peut-être que j'ai raté la manip.
Je disais qu'il manquait le son pour bien resentir la puissance du site.
Avez- vous repéré d'autres sites remarquables à visiter en retournant sur Buenos aires?
Sinon sur l'avant-dernière photo on a l'impression qu'il y a de la neige???à 30°??? et quel est l'animal sur cette neige?

Perso, je pense qu'il s'agit d'un crocodile qui affleure a la surface de l'eau...
