Wet and Wild Adventure at the Iguazu Falls, Argentina/Brazil

One adventure at the Iguazu Falls is to take a joyflight, another is to go for a boat ride right up to and underneath the falls.

Safety first, of course, with life jackets, and then shoes and belongings in big tough bags meant to keep the water out.

This is an adventure where they 100% guarantee that you will get wet.

Boat crew, naturally, are well covered in their wet suits. When you see the wicked grins on their faces you know you're in for an exciting ride and no-one is going to stay dry!

The trip along the expanse of the falls is stunning and there are plenty of opportunities to photograph and video providing you can keep the lens dry.

Then they approach one section of the falls and position the boat right under the gushing water. Pow! You feel the full force of the water dumping down on you and you really understand the meaning of "breathtaking". It literally takes your breath away and you can't breath for a few moments.

The boat then backs away from the falls, you can actually breath again, and you're overwhelmed with the adrenalin. Put this one on the bucket list.
