Falling Water

Iguazu Falls was on my shortish list of must-sees in South America and it did not disappoint.  We set out fairly early and managed to avoid the crowds you’d expect at a place so famously breathtaking.  There are a series of falls covering some 1.6 miles spilling down off massive cliffs.  Up close they overwhelm the senses and you can feel the power of so much water battering the rocks below inside your chest.

Perched on a narrow walkway of metal I looked out over the Garganta del Diablo.  Little separated me from the lower Iguazu River some 200 feet below and hidden by mist, but I was completely at peace.
