Incredible Iguazu falls

Iguazu in the native tongue means two things - 1) This is going to leave you speechless and 2) It rains like crazy when it rains so be prepared to walk around in a pouring deluge if you have very short time.
However nothing can get you prepared for the falls. It is best to enjoy this experience thoroughly by walking along the various circuits that are in the park.
The falls are on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. From the Argentine side, you can get close to the falls but from the Brazilian side, you can actually see the panoramic view of the falls. if possible, do both sides of the falls. I could not get to the Brazilian side because of visa reasons, but thoroughly enjoyed the Argentine side even though there was a major thunderstorm for one day. It only added to the adventure element.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Definitely one of the top wonders in the world. Incredible, amazing experience
Cons:Weather can be veryunpredictable - especially in thunderstorm season.
In a nutshell:Be prepared for a wet, wild, heart pounding rush of adrenaline.

Other than the English women with beer guts, the sights are amazing! Glad you didn't let a little rain bother you!
