The metal paths were open grates, we could look down to where the water rushed over the edges

The brown path was where we later walked to get to the boat to ride to the island
Iguazu
There were lots of pretty butterflies
Iguazu
So glad that the walk way was rock solid!

The mist boiling up from the turbulent water was gorgeous, see the birds down by the cliff

A moth landed on me and stayed for a visit, though I think it thought it was courting my sleeve...
Iguazu
There were quite a few big lizards along and beside the paths
Iguazu
The green and black banding was pretty, but their size freaked me out

Cris's head and the further set of falls

Looking ahead to the horse shoe shaped falls

You could buy a river rafting adventure, they'd take you right into the spray

The park rangers kept trying to drive these animals away, they were huge beggars

Then we rode the train way out to get to the last set of falls

And finally we got to the falls, with another metal walkway over the drop

These were the most loud of all the falls I think, see the videos again
