No trip to South America is complete without a visit to Igaussu Falls. This is without a doubt the epitome of waterfalls! Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls pale in comparison. We were fortunate enough to stay at the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas situated in the park with incredible views of Igaussu Falls. Our guide escorted us to both sides of the falls as the experience is quite different on the Argentinian and Brazilian sides.

We decided to take the boat ride which offers a first hand, up close trip even going under the falls. Be prepared to get wet no matter how protected you are. Many people dress in shorts and go barefoot for the pure pleasure of getting soaked.

Our ultimate excursion was a private helicopter ride which soared over the entire area encompassing Igaussu Falls and provided an overview of the falls.
Igaussu Falls is definitely one of the major wonders of this planet earth that we inhabit!
