The day ended with the return flight that got the group back to the ship at midnight.
The falls are between Argentina and Brazil. Paraguay is also a part, but further down the river. |
After lunch, we entered the trails to the Upper Circuit of falls. This cayman/alligator was waiting in case anyone feel off the trail. |
Following the trail, you soon see one of the waterfalls on the Upper Circuit. |
Here I am, along with many others, at this part of the waterfall system. |
The photos seems to have spots... that's the mist from this set of falls. |
This upper section was long and more falls are revealed. It was hot (upper 90s) and humid. |

Butterflies were everywhere, and this one decided to catch a ride on me. I was unaware until the guide asked for my camera. |
There were over four miles of trails and pedestrian bridges to view the falls and make your way through the national park. |
To get to the largest section of falls, Devil's Throat, the group took an eco-friendly train. |
Here's a very large fish that resembles a catfish. It was gigantic. |
The Devil's Throat was amazing. You were constantly sprayed by the rising mist from the falls. |
Smaller falls were to the left of the Devil's Throat. The other side of the falls belongs to Brazil. |
Making your way through the park, the group saw lots of monkeys. |
This is a coati (need to check spelling). It's an animal that looks like a opossum (head) and raccoon (tail). |
Another view of the Devils Throat from a distance. |
Note the large birds taking advantage of the thermals from the falls. The birds are types of buzzards. |
Last stop was the luxury hotel/conference center in the park. Note the Japanese students involved in workshops. The shot was taken from the hotel's bar which has a great view of the falls. |
