Iguazu Falls

Instead of posting photos of this amazing waterfall. I decided to take a video clip and let you see for yourself the sheer size and power of this waterfall.

The Iguazu Falls borders Brazil and Argentina, and consist of a whopping 275 waterfalls along 2.7 km of the Iguazu river. The video is taken from the Brazilian side, as it is here that you get an overrall picture of the mighty falls. The part of the video where it goes all misty is the Garganta del Diablo or known as the Devil`s Throat. It is accessable from the Argentinian side (alongside most of the other impressive falls) and seeing it is amazing to walk right into it. As you are almost surrounded by waterfalls (all 260 degrees of it according to Wiki!), at 150 metres wide and 700 metres long, it kicks ass to be in the midst of it!

So unlike Angel Falls with it`s sheer height, Iguazu Falls impress with it`s width! For more info on this amazing fall, check Wiki or the World Heritage Site List.
