Cataratas de Iguazu

Basically I just wanna post a ton of pictures. On the 18-20, I was in Argentina for a district Rotary conference. All of the exchange students (over 60!) from my district were there. Yesterday (the 19th), we visited one of the seven wonders of the world, the cataratas de iguazu. And I know why it's one of the seven wonders. Hopefully you'll see by the end of the post.
So here we go. Pictures.
We traveled from Paraguay to Brasil


Brasil to Argentina..

My ticket: all of the tickets said our nationality as Spain

I told Nadia to give me her "I'm in the effing rainforest" face

This my friends is a coati. Its similar to a raccoon, but there were a ton of them in the park! You had to guard your food so that they wouldn't steal it

Look.

How beautiful.

This is.

Obvious why its one of the seven wonders.

We took a boat to ride under some of the falls, we were DRENCHED afterwards

I can't even. Pictures don't even begin to describe.

The pictures kinda stopped showing up. I know there's a lot more of them here without captions, but hopefully they kind of speak for themselves.
 
Pictures don't even touch the magnificence of this place. I wish I could buy everyone reading this tickets to come to the falls to see just how beautiful this was.
