lots and lots of flowing water

This weekend I visited Iguazu falls. It was one of the most awe-inspiring, magically, enormous, places I have ever been. There was so much water flowing through the falls last weekend. It was very challenging to capture this wonderful place through photos due to the immense noise of the crashing water, the constant movement, and the enormity of the falls in general. I couldn't help but think about the first people to stumble upon these waterfalls, it must have seemed like the edge of the earth. Being close to these falls made me feel so small. The beauty of these falls is nothing humans could ever create. I had an amazing trip. It was incredibly relaxing, our hostel had a pool! And it was a needed break from the city.
Some photos:

One day we went on a hike away from the huge falls and ended up at this waterfall



Then we went swimming in the waterfall, I went in too but I had to get a photo



This is devil's throat, the most incredible part of the entire park



This looks like the edge of the world to me, a gigantic water black hole



A view from the top of one of the waterfalls



The other section of the park that's not devil's throat



We got very close to this waterfall but my camera was getting soaked so I couldn't capture the moment



A nice rainbow



Another view of most of the falls



Group photo!



Drinking mate in the morning as we walked towards the falls



The mate water available for the public, this is how many people drink mate in this country, they have to have a gigantic thermos of hot water



that was the trip!
