Iguazu Falls - Argentinean Falls

Across the Iguazu river to Argentina

The view from the Tancredo Nerves International Bridge.
Below the falls, the Iquazu river runs quiet and deep. Argentina is on the left bank, Brazil on the right.
Beyond the " Y" junction in the background is where the Iguazu river joins the major river the Parana River This is called the Triple Frontier and is the border between Brazil, Argentina and land-locked Paraguay.

The Argentinean side of the falls is 'up close and personal' whilst Brazil has the panoramic vista

Iguazu Helicopter Ride & Bird Park

Seeing the river and falls from the air provides great perspective of this natural wonder

The mist from the devils throat can be clearly seen. Our hotel is on the left on the Brazil side whilst Argentina is the right side of the river and falls.

The Argentine side has the most spectacular falls. The best panorama view is from the Brazil side.

You can see the boats near the falls

Looking back down river, the bridge to Devil's throat on the Argentinean side is easily seen.

Bird Park - Iguazu

The Bird park is located at the entrance to the National Park, located in 5 acres of subtropical forest.
Arguably it is the best bird park in the world because of its large collection of so many beautiful bird species in a variety of habitats and areas together with being able to see them so closely.
