Are you ready for a speedboat ride down the river to Iguazu Falls?

And on we go with the story of our trip to Iguazu Falls.....This part was called the Gran Adventura...the Great Adventure.
We got onto a big truck / fourtrack  type vehicle to drive down to the dock.

Our guide to the dock, Cristina...

Plastic ponchos on...check.  Life jackets on...check. Everything you don't want to get wet except for your camera in the big plastic bag...check.  Oh my here we go.

Yeah, the river was REALLLY high and swirling.

Jungle on either side...one side Argentina...the other side Brazil.

Cliffside.

Saltos (Falls) here and there



More falls


And then we saw the falls and the cloud that was created by the force of the falling water.



You know where Indiana Jones is trying to get out of the temple and the water is coming and it pops sides of the cliffs out with ts force.  Well, we didn't see that...but we did see the force of the water!.

That's the front of the boat where we got on.  There was a platform at the back were the driver was sitting.  I think he really liked to swing the boat back and forth so the water would slosh in on top of us!


I have no words for the beauty!

Normally you would go on from here into the Devil's Throat, but it was not safe.  We still got our money's worth!

The route

The fish!
