After a fun-filled week in Rio I flew TAM Airlines to Foz do Iguazu, Brazil to see the famous Iguazu Falls. The falls are on the border of Brazil and Argentina along the Iguazu River. Iguazu consists of 275 separate falls. The most impressive one is a U-shaped cataract nicknamed “The Devil’s Throat,” which has 14 falls plunging more than 350 feet. Iguazu Falls is wider than Victoria Falls, which segregates Zambia from Zimbabwe in southern Africa, but Victoria is considered larger because its water curtain is less interrupted by rocky outcrops and islands.

Upon seeing Iguazu for the first time, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt reportedly exclaimed “Poor Niagara!” It is impressive! Go see it if you can.
