About

Chris and Aviva got married in September of 2007 and immediately abandoned everything they know to move to Cuzco, Peru for a little over a year. Aviva is conducting her fieldwork towards her PhD in anthropology and Chris is bumming around shooting some short films and trying to look busy.


Argentina Part 2: Iguazu Falls

August 21st, 2008 by Chris

We’ve just had a great couple days at Iguazu Falls, up in northern Argentina where Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina all come together.  The Rio Iguazu drops a few hundred feet in about 270 different waterfalls, and puts Niagara to shame.  It really is an amazing place.  They’ve constructed a series of walkways out over the falls and to different vantage points so you get some really incredible views, especially looking straight down into the Devil’s Throat, a narrow slit the river pours into from both sides.  We also took a boat trip up under some of the falls, and got completely soaked, which didn’t change a whole lot for a while because it’s so humid and hot here.  Once we get somewhere we can download photos, we’ll put some up here.

Tonight we’re heading to Resistencia, and from there to Salta where we’re staying on an estancia and having asados (barbecues) and going horseback riding on the pampas.

    Sounds like you would need to scout those rapids really well!

    Hey C & A:

    Sure has been fun catching up on you guys. Loved the video of you two shooting the rapids at Apurimac. Looking forward to seeing more pics especially of Iguaza Falls.
    By the way, the Choquequirao photos were amazing. What an amazing mega-hike that must have been.

    Take care,
    RJ
