Foz is where they have some of the largest waterfalls in the world. It is the home of the "Devil´s Throat" where more than a billion litres of water a minute crash down creating ´smoke´out of the water vapour. (Along with some stunning rainbows!)
There is surrounding walks and jungle and more than thirty waterfalls. It is really beautiful. Yes, I have about a hundred photos.
The Falls are also on the border of Brazil and Argentina, so we visited one side on one day, and the other the next day. (My passport is now full of stamps from crossing borders every five minutes!)
On the Brazilian side, we visited a bird park, full of exotic and pretty birds. We then flew over the falls IN A HELICOPTER. It was a little pricey, but well worth it! Awesome doesn´t cover it! Followed by an afternoon of walking along the top of the falls.
On the Argentinian side, we could get a lot closer to the Devil´s Throat, which was incredible. The noise of the water roaring was impressive, and the white spray so bright I had to wear sunglasses the whole time.
More excitingly, we went on a speedboat along the river at the base of the falls, which was fun, but the best part was when the speedboat stopped, turned, and slowly started to move towards the falls. A moment of anticipation before zooming through and under the waterfalls. AMAZING. Absolutely soaked through. At one point it was rather frightening as the water is crashing down on you so hard you can´t see or breathe, but it is so exhilirating!
We had to walk around the rest of the day in damp clothes, but it was hot and sunny, so it felt almost like some kind of natural resort.
I must say, it was spectacular.
