Description

Iguazu Falls is located where the Iguazu River tumbles over the edge of the Parana Plateau, 23 kilometres (14 mi) upriver from the Iguazu's confluence with the Parana River. Numerous islands along the 2.7-kilometre-long (1.7 mi) edge divide the falls into numerous separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying between 60 to 82 metres (197 to 269 ft) high. The number of these smaller waterfalls fluctuates from 150 to 300, depending on the water level. About half of the river's flow falls into a long and narrow chasm called the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish or Garganta do Diabo in Portuguese). The Devil's Throat is U-shaped, 82 metres high, 150 m wide, and 700 m long (269 4902,300 ft). Placenames have been given also to many other smaller falls, such as San Martin Falls, Bossetti Falls and many others.

Like it, Kim! I was wondering if you got the chance to take this with a slow shutter speed. I think it would look good that way, too! #10718383

Thank you Kaleana, its always hard when you travel as you have to spend time on things and when there is to much to see any pic is better then having none lol

this is great shot, its not very often when you can capture two falls at the same time. the light on the trees makes a nice touch #10719207

Kim what a wonderful place you've captured! I love the lighting on the trees above!
It must have been nice to find 2 waterfalls next to each other! What country is this in?
