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.
The Devil's Throat
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.
Puerto Iguazú
For this Saturday photo, I bring you back to Iguazú falls. Its main touristic city, Puerto Iguazú is situated in the northeast of Argentina, and is 300 km away from the Capital City of the Province – Posadas City – and is the city that borders on Brazil and Paraguay through the concourse of Paraná and Iguazú Rivers. It is a very laid-back place, its main attraction are the waterfalls. Oh and something else, the climate is always very hot and humid!!!
Avec cette photo, je vous ramene aux chutes d’Iguazú. Sa principale ville touristique, Puerto Iguazú, est située au nord-est de l’Argentine, a 300 km de la capitale de la Province – Posadas City. La ville, Puerto Iguazú, est encadrée par le Brésil et le Paraguay par le biais des fleuves Paraná et Iguazú. C’est un endroit décontracté, dont la principale attraction sont les chutes d’eau. Un autre petit détail, le climat est toujours étouffant et trés humide!!!
Mono in the jungle
I’m happy to post my 101 posting today!! It has been interesting and quite challenging to post a picture every day, and most of all it has been really nice to have you discover daily, Buenos Aires in pictures.
–Today I wanted to share a picture taken in the Iguazul National Park last week end. A Mono or monkey, in English, posing for the tourists. First time I got to see one, apart from my multiple excursions to the zoo 
. But to see one in its natural environment is absolutely nice. Alongside the waterfalls at Iguazu, the extraordinary variety of species of animals has become one of the outstanding features of the park.
Je suis contente de faire ma 101 entree-blog aujourd’hui!! Cela a ete tres interessant et digne d’un challenge, tous les jours, de mettre en ligne une photo, mais plus que tout ca a ete un plaisir de vous faire decouvrir Buenos Aires au travers de photos quotidiennes.
–Aujourd’hui, je voulais vous montrer une photo prise au Park National d’Iguazu le week end dernier. Un Mono ou singe en Francais, qui pose pour les touristes. C’etait la premiere fois que j’en voyais un dans son habitat naturel. Moi qui suis plutot habituee a en voir au zoo . D’en voir un dans son environnement naturel est quand meme quelque chose d’extraordinaire. A côté des chutes d’eau, la variété extraordinaire d’espèces animales est devenue une des caractéristiques remarquables du parc.
First sight of Iguazu Falls
Back to Buenos Aires, back to work in 2 hours. And yes Iguazu Falls was a blast. I was told it is beautiful, spectacular, immense open space where the water noise will stay in your head long after you’ve seen the falls. I have to say that all of this is true, and it is much more than that. It was a never before seen spectacle for me, a beauty of nature incredibly magic. Between walks in the jungle, a ride in a zodiac right under the falls (sensational!), a ride in a military truck, and splendid views of the Iguazu falls from the Argentinian and Brazilian sides, it was a week-end to remember.
I will randomly share some pix in the next few weeks. Today, pic. number 1, taken from Brazil, at the end of the tour. I will try to add some info. about the park as well.
