We sadly farewelled Buenos Aires and headed north to one of South Americas most visited sights, Iguazu Falls. Taller than Niagra and twice as wide, the falls cast an impressive divide between the Argentinian and Brazilian borders and are listed as a World Heritage site.The sight of 3 million litres of water thundering over the edge and falling 25 storeys into the gorge was out of this world! You can walk right up to the edge at several vantage points, and it was particularly mind blowing standing over the top of Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat), the largest of section of the falls. It was loud, dramatic and just incredibly stunning.
Daredevils that we are, we even jumped on a boat and cruised in and out of the spray at the bottom. It was absolutely freezing and a little hairy having all that water coming towards you to be honest! I will let pics speak for themselves on this one... but Iguazu was absolutely spectacular, and a must-see for anyone riding the Gringo Trail.
