Iguazu Falls, on the border of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay is our last big trip before leaving Buenos Aires for Boulder, Colorado.

More water passes through these falls then any other in the world, an average of 553 cubic feet per second. There are 275 cascades spread over two miles. Argentina has preserved a huge portion of its land adjacent to the falls as a national park. We were fortunate enough to stay in the only hotel within the park boundaries. We had a view of the falls in the distance -- Very scenic. The falls are spectacular, especially the largest one named Devil´s Throat, pictured to the left. The park has several trails leading to various viewing areas. Eleanor Roosevelt commented on the falls when she visited: "Poor Niagra"

These cute furry racoon-like animals crossing on the catwalk railing are coati. They seemed unconcerned with people standing within inches of them as they foraged for food, then made there way across the bridge. The park has signs warning against feeding the coati because they will bite.
