Three countries in two days (Sergio alone in SouthAmerica)


Many things have happened since we, the idiotas, decided to split for a while. Me, myself and I, decided to go north, to Iguazu, Iguaçu or whatever way you prefer it. I am there today and, truly, the famous falls deserve being famous. It is like The Beatles or Ferrari or Maradona, there are things that are more than average, and this place is impressing.


"typical topical picture from the falls, imagine the noise"


"Álvaro Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, spanish explorer, was the first white man in discovering the falls. In 1542, going up thrpugh Río de la Plata on his way to Asunción, Paraguay was amazed by the natural miracle... these are his words "the strong stream was so huge, the waters ran with such a fury .. near where we left the boats the water falls through the rocks and it hits the ground with a power such that you can hear them from far far away and the foam goes high"
From the Iguazu falls museum (Brasilian side)

The falls are shared also by Argentina, that side will be tomorrow (at least for me).

As I said, in three days, three countries (I was yesterday in Paraguay, short but intensive stay, shopping for a big reason and watching jesuitic ruins, today Brasil, tomorrow back to Argentina). And soon time to meet the idiotas.
