Early rise and 8.30 am start by walking from the Hotel about one and half km. to catch the ecological train to the beginning of a 1.5 km. catwalk that takes you over all the Iguazu River and tributaries to where it crashes over at Devil’s Throat. The walk is flat and easy to do except on the way back hordes of people had decided that they would go there too. From the top of the falls you can look back to see the Sheraton in exactly the reverse we saw when we arrived the day before.
There have been many highlights of the Iguazu Falls and if you had to choose going under the falls and this event watching the torrents of water crashing over at Devil’s Throat these had to be the two best.
After maneuvering back across the catwalk, we then caught the train back to do what is known as the Upper Circuit another catwalk that takes you to all the different smaller falls that we saw on our way down to catch the rubber ducky the day before. Each of them were very spectacular. We arrived back at the Hotel in time to shower,change have another lunch and then off to the airport to catch the plane back to Buenos Aires.
No dramas this time, plane on time and then back to the ship by 6.30pm. Luckily the Captain had agreed to hold the ship from a 5pm departure until we got back. What an adventure, thoroughly exhausted, tired but so pleased 20 of us were able to see this magnificent wonder of this amazing world.
The falls look a lot like the ones at TOronto was it, very similar shape, but narrower. Beautiful place!!
