Iguassu Falls!! The "Land of Rainbows"

After Caldas Novas we came home for a day and then onto the airplane to go to Iguassu Falls! This is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Unbelievable beauty there! We spent 3 days in Foz do Iguassu. The first day we spent on the Brazil side of the Iguassu Falls. I call this place the "Land of Rainbows". There were so many rainbows there! We took the boat ride and went right up to some of the water falls!! We hiked some and ate lunch. We ate outside and there were signs that read “Watch out for the Quati.” These varmints would come up to your table jump in an empty chair and reach across the table and take your food!!! Then hop down and walk off with it in their mouths! At first I thought they were cute until I saw one take a lady’s lunch right off her plate! They were so fast. Later that day we went to the Bird Park. It was one of the largest bird parks in the world.

The next day we were able to go to ARGENTINA to see the falls from their side! After we got the visa issue worked out our taxi driver took us the Iguassu falls park . We were in for a breathtaking surprise of beauty! It reminded us of the pictures of Never, Never Land in the movie Peter Pan. There was a high standing island in front of the some of the falls which has a water fall coming from it! There were platforms going out over some of the falls to get us closer to the roar of the water. We walked 1.1 kilometers one way over the Iguassu river to get to a raging waterfall.

There was so much water moving through the river. Check out some of these pictures to see. The power of the mass of water was breathtaking. God’s creativity foresaw these waterfalls and HIS power is mightier than the rushing of the many waters. HE has allowed us to look upon HIS rainbows of promise and love! Whoooooooo!!! J
