After seeing the Brazilian side of the falls, we went over to the Argentina side of the falls. The Brazilian side is very developed, the Argentinian side is very natural, and focused on preserving the woods and animals around the falls.
Its hard to convey how large and how beautiful the falls are. We had a wonderful time, seeing and experiencing the beauty God created there. Hopefully these pictures give you some idea of how beautiful it is.
Here we are on the bridge at the international boundary. The river below us fell over the falls a few miles upstream, and about a mile downstream joins another river in a T intersection. At that intersection, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet.
We walked along the upper trail, which leads along the top of the longest part of the falls. This is us at the beginning. The trail leads along the top of all of the falls behind us.
You can see how the trail leads right up to the edge of the top of the falls.
Here we're approaching the end of the upper trail, where there is an overlook of one of the largest of the falls. If you look closely you will see Raquel waving along the rail toward the left of the picture.
The series of pictures below are taken from that overlook. They are lined up as if you are looking from right to left as you stand on the overlook.
Here is the first picture. You can see an old walkway bridge from the original trail that was washed out in a huge flood years ago.
In this and the next picture, the land on the left is the Brazilian side. The building you see is the restaurant and visitor center (where they instruct you to "take the Brazil in the chest".)
Here's Neil in front of the big part of the falls on the overlook.
After walking the upper trail, we took the lower trail, which leads down to the bottom of one of the falls. Here is one of the views from this trail.
Here is Neil at the bottom of the falls.
