There are no real words to describe how amazingly beautiful these falls are. There is a reason why they are rated the best falls in the world. At the top of devils throat Kristy and I both had goose bumps and tears in our eyes. We both commented on how incredible nature is and how God created all these amazing things for us to see. These falls reminded me that nature is very powerful. I would tell definitely recommend that Iguassu Falls be on everyone's bucket list. It is worth the extra plane ride to get there. The whole time we were there Shawn kept saying, "no pictures are going to show how magnificent these falls are." I agree that no picture captured how big and beautiful these falls are and I am not sure a picture could capture the true beauty of these falls and the emotions you feel when seeing them. However, I will post some pics anyway to help me remember a glimpse of what I experienced.
Our itinerary:
Day 1: Fly to Iguassu Falls find our Bed and Breakfast and then eat dinner
Day 2: Argentina side of the falls
Day 3: The bird park and the Brazilian side of the falls and then fly back to Rio.
The fun thing about this trip was that we were able to get a little taste of everything from driving a car to taking a bus, from sharing a room to bed and breakfast, from eating all you can eat meat to eating Maria's food, from city life to nature life. It was all so fun and unique. The bed and breakfast was the perfect set up and cheap as well. Maria treated us great. She cooked an amazing breakfast each morning and set us up with a driver to take us to the falls.
Just off the plane and waiting for the bus to take us to our bed and breakfast. The bus ride was an eclectic experience.

Little water falls all over, preparing us for the big falls.
I don't know if you can see the rainbow but there were rainbows everywhere.
A little boat ride to an island in the middle of the two big falls
Getting ready for our boat ride under the falls
A lady gave me this waterproof cover. I was happy to have it.
The boat ride takes you up to a water fall and you seriously get soaked. I wish had a video of Shawn's expressions and words. He kept saying, " I paid all this money for what feels like someone spraying me with a fire hydrant!" He was miserable but all the Brazilians and Argentinans were singing some chant telling the boat man to bring on more water. I was seriously laughing so hard.

These animals were everywhere.
On our way to devil's throat. Absolutely amazing!
These beautiful butterflies every where as well.
On the train back to the entrance. A fun beautiful eventful day!
