New Wonder of the World - Iguazu Falls.

We visited one of the New 7 Wonders of the World this week, and it did not disappoint. When my students were researching South America, to give us suggestions for our trip, Arabella and Maverick chose to learn about Iguazu Falls. We visited both the Brazilian and Argentine sides and had two spectacular perspectives of the multitude of falls. 

We headed out early by Uber to catch the bus inside the park that took us to the Devil's Throat. It was beautiful, hot, and sunny, and when we reached the falls, it was 37 degrees. We were hiking mainly in the shade, so the heat wasn't too unbearable. When we reached Devil's Throat, we walked out on a platform into the mist. The Brazilian side gave us a perspective from below the falls, and as we walked along the river, we got spectacular views. We took so many photos, and every corner provided more stunning scenery. 

So sunny and beautiful with loads of rainbows!

We counted more than 20 different waterfalls in one view we had!

The Argentine side provided a perspective from above, and two other hiking trails. It had a small train that took us to the Devil's Throat, which was a thrilling experience. Again, we got up early to catch the first train in and were among the first people to reach the falls. It quickly got busier as the day went on, and we were ready to head out around noon. It is hard to find words to express the beauty of the falls, so I will share lots of pictures to give you an idea of what you can add to your bucket list when visiting Brazil and Argentina. It is truly a natural wonder. Thanks, Mav and Arabella, for the recommendation. 

We planned to take this boat tour, but Mark's tummy wasn't feeling well so we thought it better
to skip this time. 🤮

Another stunning day with beautiful views!

The Devil's Throat - we were soaked!
