Foz do Iguazu

After breakfast when we were ready to leave our hotel and return our rental car we discovered that now the left front tire was flat. Because we were already using the spare on the right front and though we were only about 5 miles from the airport where we planned to return the car, returning the car still took three hours! We had to go through a whole hassle to get hold of the company, find someone to translate, get a tow truck, have the car towed, and then go to the airport to complete the paperwork. Finally about 2pm we were on the way to Iguazu Falls Park.

We bought tickets and did the boat ride to the bottom of the falls. It started with a very interesting walk and ride through the park forest to the boat dock.

In addition to a fun and beautiful ride, the boat also took us right under the falls. Tons of water dropped on us! It was so much fun!! I bought the GoPro pictures they took but I still have to get them off the thumb drive.

We were absolutely soaked but it was a hot day and as I said the whole experience was fantastic.

Next we went up to the viewing platforms overlooking the falls. Words fail me when I try to explain the beauty and grandeur.
