Yup, still here in Foz de Iguaçu, Brasil-in a few short hours we´ll be hoping on a 16 hour bus back to Sao Paolo, ouch. On the 4th we went to Iguaçu Falls on the Brazilian side. We paid (a bit too much) to go onto a pontoon boat that took us up the Iguaçu River for a close and wet look at the falls. It was spectacular from this vantage point, and that was only the beginning. After getting drenched and hoping our zip-lock bag holding our cameras didn´t leak, we began the walking course of views along the Brazilian edge of the Falls. It is huge. You see smaller waterfalls with giant neighbors, most dropping at least 250 feet, the roar is constant as you explore this area. The finale, at the end of the path is a cat walk that juts out into the river and brings you right to the edge with views over to Argentina and the famous Garganta del Diablo (Devil´s Throat) drop, which is the highest at 269 ft (check the wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguazu_Falls) for an even better description.
