After an extensive search through our guidebooks on the best way to cross the border from Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil to Puerto Iguazú in Argentina and only finding information about doing the journey in the other direction, we decided that, failing pushing ourselves off the edge of the falls on the Brazilian side and [...]

Blog: Viva Latin America! - 7 October 2010

Holy Guaçu, Sethman!
Blog: Seth of the Equator - 19 March 2010
I spent the last two days at Iguazú Falls on the Argentine-Brazilian border. It was among the most awe-inspiring things I've seen in my entire life. Supposedly, when Eleanor Roosevelt visited Brazil, she went to the falls, and exclaimed, "Poor Niagara!" Poor Niagara indeed. If you can imagine dropping a tropical jungle into the Grand Canyon, and then having 275 individual waterfalls springing out everywhere you look, that gives a bit of a sense of the place. What I had never quite comprehended from pictures was the scale of the thing.
