Iguacu










Iguacu Falls was incredibly beautiful. The magnitude is tough to describe! Very much worth the travel time & minor hassles crossing borders.



We also saw Itaipu, those white tubes have turbines in them. It's the second largest hydro power plant in the world. Itaipu produces 20% of Brazil's electricity and nearly all of Paraguay's. It took over 10 years to construct.



This spillway is only open 10% of the year- we were lucky to see it!
