Flyabout over the Iguazu Falls, Brazil/Argentina

After trekking in the cooler region of Patagonia, in southern Chile and Argentina, it was a shock to the system to be in Puerto Iguazu, Argentina.

It was very hot and humid but worth the effort to see the longest waterfalls in the world.

The first day was spent on the ground on the Argentinian side with the first part of the visit being the long walk to see the Devil's Throat. Up close, you get drenched with the spray, and the roar of the falls is overwhelming. Humans really are quite insignificant compared to the power of nature.

However, one of the best ways of seeing the long expanse of the falls is to take a helicopter ride from the Brazilian side (about 15 minutes).

Words can't adequately describe the vista, you just have to do it.
