Igazu Falls, Exploring the Argentina Side

 Exploring Iguazu Falls, Argentina 

  Argentina and Brazil share a border at one of the new seven wonders of the world, Iguazu Waterfall. I have to admit that I was not prepared for the amount of waterfalls, how much water was moving, and how close the boardwalks would put you to the heart of the action. For a photographer you have so many different angles to shoot, from below the falls, next to the falls, to standing feet above the falls looking over the Devil's Tongue itself. Since the falls are located in a forested area you also have a chance to see some wildlife like cuatis and capuchin monkeys. There are lots of butterflies flittering about as well as some colorful birds.

 Heidi and I walked outside to catch a  local bus in front of our hotel (Marco Polo Suites), which would take us right to the cataracts for 65 pesos each (about $4 each). However as we were waiting a car with a young Argentinian couple pulled over and said we could jump in with them for the same price as the bus...so off we went. The falls were only a twenty minute ride away and cost 330 pesos to enter (about $22).

  Once you are inside it is geared for you to go at your own pace. Different color coded boardwalks take you to different overlooks and parts of the falls. My favorite was the upper boardwalk which ended in a platform hovering a few feet over the biggest part of the falls. However I will say that amazing pictures were to be had from all the different boardwalk paths. If you keep a close eye out you may even see caimans hanging out in the rivers below some of the boardwalk bridges.
