Iguassu - heaven on earth!

Iguassu Falls is located on the triangulated borders of Uruguay, Brasil and Argentina in a tropical rainforest . 



It is said that the heavy concentration of negative ions has a positive effect on your state of mind....they are right .. . you can't stop smiling ...the power and the strength of the falls just mesmerises you... and eight hours in a day is just not enough.



The Brazilian side is dramatic and nearly every photo you take has a rainbow!


The individual cataratas  allow you to focus  on the close  up features




The Devil's Mouth creates the roar!
The Argentinian  side made for many photo opportunities for Sandra


and me!


Every corner provoded an opportunity for a new glimpse from a different angle.




Sandra likened this to  a scene from Alfred  Hitchcock's "The Birds "


They are a close relative of the condor and soar above Iguassu on the thermal streams.





Jet boats take  the gullible passengers up the Rio Iguassu...


and then under the powerful, thundering falls to drench them.




Iguassu is full of amazing mariposas that rest on the safety rails not to pose for tourist photos but to collect the salt from the sweat their hands leave on the rails.
