| Iguaza Falls |
Our bags were packed, and we were ready for the next adventure. Following lunch at the Copacabana Palace, we flew to Iguaca where the magnificent and very large Iguaza Falls are. Our first stop was for a 15 minute helicopter ride over the falls. I was lucky enough to be in the front next to the pilot where I could see all around and take some half decent videos/photos. The falls form the border between Brazil and Argentina and can be seen from both countries. According to our guide Gaston, the views and access from Brazil are the better because most of the falls are on the Argentina side. The waterfall systems in both countries make up the largest waterfall system in the world.
Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas is our home for the next 2 nights. Cataratas means Waterfalls in English. It has a very different feel from the Copacabana Palace. I feels more like a lodge from early days. It is elegant with outdoor access to restaurants, the bar, shops. It overlooks the falls. The weather is cooler. Enjoy the photos at flickr.
