BRAZIL / ARGENTINA: Iguazú Falls

On our way back to Buenos Aires we stopped on the border between Brazil and Argentina to see the Iguazú Falls, a place we had been told to visit and that turned out to be an incredible tropical paradise. 

BRAZIL SIDE

First we stopped at the bird park...

Then we headed to the falls.

This part was called the Devil's Throat, definitely the most incredible part of the experience.
