Iguazu is a massive array of over 200 separate waterfalls, a World Heritage Site, which form a portion of the border between Argentina and Brazil. This picture, taken from Argentina's upper circuit, shows one of the longest waterfall rows. (It had been a fairly dry year.) |
This close-up shows falls on the right side of the prior shot. |
On the far left, this was the largest upper circuit waterfall. |
Devil's Throat is the star at Iguazu, the tallest waterfall, also consuming the largest amount of water. Approached by rail and then a catwalk hike over the Iguazu River, the mouth of Devil's Throat can be seen on the Argentine side. Wind and the waterfall combined to produce so much spray that, although I could stand directly above it, no photography directly into the massive throat was possible. |
