Iguazu falls
The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometers (1.67 miles) of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 meters (269 ft) in height, though the majority are about 64 metres (210 ft). The Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish or Garganta do Diabo in Portuguese), a U-shaped, 82-meter-high, 150-meter-wide and 700-meter-long (490 by 2300 feet) cataract, is the most impressive of all, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil.

Tienda
Tienda [store] in Puerto Iguazú – this one is the equivalent of convenience store. Puerto Iguazú is a frontier city in the province of Misiones, north of Argentina. It’s essentially a tourist town because of the so-known Iguazu falls, located only at 18km away from the city.
Three Borders Landmark
** Just created a new photoblog where I’ll be posting random pictures of places I’ve been to, lived in, in the past. I guess I’m just a blog addict and I needed another one to add to my already busy blogging life ;=) Here’s the link: AK Photoblog. The blog’s still in a construction stage.
The picture was taken at a tri-border area along the junction of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil near the cities of Ciudad del Este, (Alto Paraná); Puerto Iguazú, (Misiones) and Foz do Iguaçu, (Paraná) respectively. This is here, at the Hito Tres Fronteras, that the Iguazú and the Paraná rivers converge. At this landmark, one can see all three countries simultaneously. Furthermore, a visitor can see an obelisk in each country, painted with the national colors of the country in which it is located.
Wonder of nature
After the landscapes of the Northwest, we’re heading north at the border of Brazil to the Iguazul Falls. I took this picture during a trip I did back in 2006. The name Iguazul means “big water” in the dialect guaraní (indigenous language of South America). Those falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones.
El Hito Tres Fronteras
El Hito Tres Fronteras – The Three Borders Landmark- is a tourist place, located in the city of Puerto Iguazú, north of Argentina. This is where the rivers Iguazú and Parana come together. Where you can see the small obelisk, is a view point, where you can see the three countries (Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay) and each country has the same looking obelisk painted with their national flags.
El Hito Tres Fronteras – Le Point les Trois Frontières – est un endroit touristique dans la ville de Puerto Iguazú, au nord de l’Argentine. C’est la que les rivieres Iguazú et Parana se rejoignent. Ou vous voyez le petit Obelisque, c’est un point de vue, d’ou vous pouvez apercevoir les 3 pays (Argentine, Bresil et Paraguay) et chaque pays a le meme obelisque, peint avec les couleurs du drapeau national.
I’m leaving in a few hours to France from where I’ll continue posting pictures of Buenos Aires, maybe not daily, but as often as I can 
Iguazu Falls
Back to Iguazu Falls. This is what I call getting into the real thing 
As part of their “Gran Aventura” package, on board of a zodiac, armed with life jacket, and they ride you right under the falls. The white foam on the left, this is where they take us. Quite spectacular, more when you seat in the front, as we were, one get soaked entirely. Once under, the noise around you is phenomenal, and the people’s screams even more. After 3 rounds under the falls, they ride you along the river. Scary at first, it turned to be a really great experience 
Nous revoila aux chutes d’Iguazu. Voila ce que j’appele passer aux choses sérieuses. Dans leur package de “Gran Aventura”, a bord d’un zodiaque, vetu d’un gilet de sauvetage, ils vous aménent directement sous les chutes. C’est vraiment spectaculaire, ca l’est encore plus, quand on est assis devant, comme nous l’étions, on en ressort trempé completement. Une fois sous les chutes, le bruit qui vous entoure est assourdissant, les cris des gens le sont encore plus. Apres 3 passages consécutifs sous les chutes, ils nous amenent faire un tour le long de la riviere. Impressionant au début, ca a été en fait une sacrée experience
