Iguazu Falls, Argentina

Iguazu Falls is one of the great natural wonders of nature and is at the northern tip of Argentina and shares its water with Brazil and Paraguay too. I visited the falls only on the Argentinean side and it was an awesome powerful spectacle of nature ! The Iguzau natural park is huge and I got to see the falls from different angles. The best view though was from Devil's throat. Another great thing was the constant rainbow over the fall, probably due to all the mist rising up and the sunshine that day.

Wikipedia says - "They are taller than Niagara Falls, and twice as wide, for which Eleanor Roosevelt is said to have exclaimed on her first sight of the Falls: "Poor Niagara!" !" I so agree - I've been to both and indeed upon seeing Iguazu, Niagara looks like a poor man's waterfall :)

Butterflies of Iguazu, Argentina

The national park around Iguazu Falls contains quite a bit of wildlife and among the most beautiful are the butterflies. In some parts of the park, butterflies are all over and not even afraid to come and land on you. So many beautiful species. It was great to be able to get up close to them and take these wonderful shots !
