Foz do Iguazu, 4-6 de Febrero

Our final 2 days in Brazil were spent in Foz to check out the Iguacu falls from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. Never been to another country and back in the same day!

Brazil offers the expansive views of the falls while Argentina gets you up close and into the falls.
We sort-of forgot that we were in the jungle and were blown away by the awesome wildlife around which was an unexpected bonus.

Again more a photo album of the spectacle that was.....Iguaçu (Brazil) & Iguazú (Argentina). 

Brazil

First glimpse of Iguacu

80 & 88 are popular bib no.'s amongst the racing butterflies of Iguacu. 





Garganta del Diablo (The devils throat)



 





We haven't been very factual lately.........
Iguacu consists of 275 falls stretching 2.7 kilometres. All the individual falls are 64-82 metres high! A whopping average flow rate of 1,746 cubic meters per second - mucho agua!!

Argentina

Most impressive spot - Garganta del Diablo from above.
Muy GRANDE - 82m high, 150m wide and 700m long! 

Constantly changing view as this mist will rise 30-150m,
and as it does it soaks you on the platform!!



....as is about to happen here by the rain cloud behind!



Giant butterflies everywhere.........

 



Baby Coati's

Was obligatory to take a boat trip - consists of 5 mins of photo's and
then a drenching from both sides of the falls! 

Fluoro yellow butterflies - cool!!

These guys were a little too frequent for me - some with webs 3-4m
long at their widest part. Eeew!

One of the many view points where you get absolutely soaked!

Loved Iguacu so much - from both sides! Was an amazing spectactle with its apparent low-flow at the moment - would love to see it in the rainy season! Definitely a must-do to see it from both countries.

So there is the last BIG TICK put in place for our trip. 

Next and final destination Uruguay for a week and then a short boat trip across to Buenos Aires before returning to the land of the long white cloud!
