Poor Niagara

That´s what Eleanor Roosevelt said on seeing Iguazu falls in northern Argentina. It is, in fact, magnificent. Depending on where you look, it may be the most voluminous falls in the world. Niagara, Iguazu and Murchison in Uganda all rank in the world`s most voluminous falls. It's a bit taller and much wider than Niagara though it's not even a tenth of the height of Yosemite Falls or Angel Falls, the worlds tallest. Like Niagara, it straddles two countries, Argentina and Brazil. Visiting from the two sides was entirely different. In Argintina you meander through the jungle and see bits of the falls up close, close enough to get wet! At the final viewpoint you are in the Garganta del Diablo (Throat of the Devil) where you feel the power of up to 12,000 cubic meters per second of water. In Brazil you are overwhelmed by awesome panoramic views of this most impressive site.
