CHAPTER 3. SO. AMERICA-BOLIVIA & BRAZIL CONT.

We fly from La Paz to Iguazu, with a plane change in Asuncion. The Cataracts Hotel, on the Brazil side near the falls, is old and fine, with nice grounds, and is only slightly rundown. The river is high and the falls great to see; they start with a “throat of the devil” upstream, then continue, for what appears to be miles, falling from the Argentine side over a rock ledge into the river below.

They say Iguazu Falls surpass both Niagara and Victoria Falls. We have seen neither of them, but are willing to believe it’s true; Iguazu is indeed a sight worth the trip.
