Our hotel is beautiful, located within the national park on the Argentine side and offers an excellent view of the La Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat) – the most impressive of all the falls.
Breakfast on the terrace was amazing and we had the company of this delightful Toco Toucan.
After breakfast we visited the Argentine side and firstly took a short Wally Train ride through the jungle.
A couple of unidentified birds whilst we were waiting on the platform.
We then had free time to road around as we liked and cross the many steel bridges which provide superb viewing platforms for the various falls. As I've already said, the majority (80%) of the falls are on this side, so accordingly there are less to see here, so most just random views. It was nice and gentle where we started off.

These inflatables offer a closer view of the falls.
Queuing for our turn to get drenched!
We went along the river and actually almost underneath some of the falls. The water was so heavy and cold, we just shut our eyes and screamed – it was absolutely amazing. Most of us had waterproofs on (except Ian!!!!) but we still got quite wet although we were given superb rubber sacks to put cameras and shoes etc in.
The boat then took us along the rapids to a landing station, followed by a 20 min slow drive through the sub-tropical jungle, but nothing to photograph.
Back at our hotel with the spray from the Devil's Throat rising in the distance.
A couple of other unidentified birds plus a Kiskadee
Sadly we’re off to Rio tomorrow and then we fly home early evening on Saturday. Not sure of internet access in Rio (may be hideously expensive) but hope I can post something.
