For The Love of Travel

It’s one of the world’s largest waterfalls. Stretching for 2.7 kms and straddling the border with Argentina, the falls comprise hundreds of cascades, including the 80m tall Devil’s Throat. A fabulous walk this morning to revisit the beauty, power and majesty of the area….

 

Created in 1939, the National Park is home to the largest semi-deciduous forest in Brazil, rich in biodiversity….jaguar, puma, caiman, harpy eagle…non of which we saw on the 9 km trail through the forest or on the boat ride on Upper Iguacu river. Never mind, a nice afternoon meanderings.  

 

Just arrived at the splendid Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas, located in Brazil’s Iguassu National Park.  Here’s (not my) aerial photo of the hotel and proximity to falls!   300m to one lookout and entrance to many walks around the area. Woo hoo! And my best sunset photo tonight…
