Iguazu Falls, Brazil

After a long and tring 55 hour bus journey from Salvador I was relieved to arrive in the infamous Foz De Iguazu. Based on what I had read, and other travellers´ photos and experiences, I was expecting to be extremely impressed with Iguazu Falls. What I was not prepared for was how overwhelmingly magnificant the falls actually are.

We had a short walk through a noisy, wildlife covered slice of jungle to enter the falls. Bold butterflies of every size, colour and pattern fluttered around us and along the way we were able to see bitesized pieces of the incredible falls.

As we got closer to the waterfalls the thunderous roar became louder and we could feel the water spray on our faces. It wasn´t until we got to the view point that we could see the grand-scale of the amazing rainbow covered waterfalls.

As we walked out onto the viewing platform, complteley surrounded by cascading waterfalls, I could feel the full impact of the almighty, powerful falls.

No words, photographs or videos could possibly capture how utterly spectualar Iguazu falls is. With the rainbows, misty spray and tropical surroundings it looked truely magical.
