    Iguazu Falls - Argentina

    December 2, 2016 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    After some troubles with crossing the border to Argentina because the license of our taxidriver was expired, we finallay arrived at Cataratas (spanish word for waterfalls) on the argentinian side.

    The river "Iguazu" builds the border of Brazil and Argentina. There are 20 big and 225 smaller waterfalls with a total extension of 2.7km. Most of the big falls have the height of around 64m and some reach the size of 82m. The downgoing water amount moves from 1500 to 7000 m3/s.

    The argentinian side is much bigger than the brazilian one. It took us a whole day to walk around (incl. boat tour) and visiting all the different outlooks because the distances from one to the other spot were huge. Here we were able to walk on bridges in the middle of the river and went really close to one of the biggest falls. But we got even closer by speed boat: That close, that we got wet till our underpants - it was huge fun! 💦
