The gorgeous Iguazu Falls

Hi everyone!
We've had an amazing few days visiting the Iguazu falls on the border between Argentina and Brazil. We'd heard great things about the falls and had very high hopes of them, and we're glad to say they more than lived up to our expectations. There are about 285 falls in total, spread across the the Iguazu river as it plummets down over basalt platforms. We visited the Argentinian side on Friday and Saturday for a close up look at the falls, including a VERY wet boat ride under one of them, and today went to the Brazilian side (where it is 'Iguacu' rather than 'Iguazu') for panoramic views. Its hard to do justice to them in photos but we've put a few up - check out the Argentina and Brazil sets. As you can see from the photos we also saw a fair amount of wildlife there, although we didn't manage to get photos of the amazing hummingbirds.
We're heading into Paraguay tomorrow before flying up to Rio on Tuesday for the last 10 days of our trip. We did briefly consider going by bus and visiting a few more places on the way, but in the end decided that we finally deserve a bit of a rest, so are heading straight to the beach!
