We were up early again today to join our guide for a tour of the falls. First was a walk to the train station where we hopped on a “”Cane train” and made our way to near the top of the falls and then walked along a long walkway over the very wide river to a most spectacular site as the water toppled over.
Then the walk back and a very peaceful boatride down the Iguazu River looking at the flora and fauna of this amazing area. We were lucky enough to get our first picture of a Woody Woodpecker.Well there was two of them actually.
Then another long walk along the higher trail stopping at the the many lookouts of these amazing falls. They are just so wide. Being a big horseshoe shape there is no way you can get them all in one picture. We even got so close we easily could have reached over for that pot of gold.
After more walking and many picture stops we boarded an old Blitz open truck and made our way over 4kls through the rain forest to the river where we boarded a jet boat for a ride to the bottom of the falls.
Then we got completely saturated as we rode right up and under the falls. What a wonderful feeling, (thank goodness for the Canon waterproof case for the G9
And even clearer view of the falls from our room this afternoon
