Back up where we were staying the rain just didn’t stop. Throughout the night the thunder was deafening at times and torrential downpour just kept coming. So much for the weather forecast saying “rains easing in the morning!” We didn’t really have any choice, we geared up in our rain jackets and headed for Iguazú Falls.
As soon as we got there, the men and the big boys went straight on the Falls boat ride. Unfortunately the little ones were too young to go on the ride so the mums stayed with them. The plan was for us to go on one of the walks through the park and meet up with the boys at the other side but it was raining so heavily that we were already drenched just from walking from the entrance to one of the rest areas. So we just stayed put where we were to dry out. All our shoes were drenched except for Mia’s and she walked through every single puddle we saw! She kept telling Aunty Cindy “no my feet are dry, my shoes are waterproof you know”, even though they were both wearing the same type of Columbia shoes 🤔😆. Once the rain eased, we took the shorter walk and met up with the boys.
Heading straight for the Falls!
New buddies, Mia and Rohan.
Minutes after their boat ride, looking back at where their boat took them.
Lush green vegetation all around the many waterfalls.The two boys had so much fun riding through the water that they insisted on going again when Cindy and I decided to do it. Shad got some fantastic shots of us going into the Falls.
Still dry as we start our approach.
In we go! All of us had our rain jackets on, and I even had an extra poncho on but we got absolutely drenched. It was like having someone throw a bucket of water right at you. Even our underwear got wet!
Two Sisters Falls. After seeing this, Mia kept looking for a Brother-Sister Falls ☺️.
The water was brown because of the recent rains which washed up a lot of soil and mud into the waterfalls. On dry days, the water is crystal clear.
She loved being so close to the waterfalls, and couldn’t take her eyes off the rainbows.
Iguazú Falls is actually made up of many different waterfalls but the most majestic of them is the “Devil’s Throat”. Standing there we were just awed by the deafening sound of the falling water, everywhere we turned we were sprayed by drops of water. There was no escaping from getting wet.
So much water! 
A rainbow to add to the beauty of amazing sight.
