Foz do Iguacu

This is a spectacular waterfall where the borders of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet. This picture is taken from Brazil looking at the Argentinian falls. It has three times the water volume of Niagara Falls but spread over a much larger area. There is no effective way of capturing it all in one photograph, at least not from the ground, so I am posting one vignette that I hope captures the feel of the falls.

Gorgeous shot, a real waterscape here.
What a great find.
Must have been quite a trip up...

Thank for the lovely comments all. I have never been to Victoria Falls Hal, but by all accounts they are as spectacular as this - just different. We have not been shot at here, at least not yet. We are heading over to Argentina today to explore the other side of the falls. Both Iguacu and Victoria falls are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

A nicely framed photo, Steve.
l've not seen these. They seem larger than the Victoria Falls
in Africa, that l have seen and flown over.... and been shot at
by troops on the North (Zambia) side.

The falls that we just saw in the Upper are dwarfed by these beautiful falls. It must have been thrilling to hear that water pounding down. This is really the most dramatic falls that I have ever seen. Nice!

One of those places that is a must to see, (not that I shall ever see them)
So post more if you have them!

Oh, these falls seem very powerful. Interesting that they are spread across such a wide area. Wonderful place!
