28 September -- Iguazu Falls

Once we got to the falls, we finally ran into the teeming hordes of tourists that had so far been missing in our travels. Most people belonged to tours led by Iguazu Falls staff. So there were wandering groups of like 50 people each, every one with a laminated card around their neck that said "Omar." There were lots of different tour guides but Omar seemed to dominate. The most impressive views were at Garganta del Diablo, but our favorite experience was standing in the spray of the falls at the end of the lower trail. We took a million pictures that tell the story pretty well.

Thar be snakes out there. Outside the trail. As clearly marked on this sign.

This is on the walk to Garganta del Diablo. Note the mist rising up from the falls in the background. If you can't read the sign, it's pointing out the catwalk destroyed by a flood in 1992.
