What can I say about the falls. I have never seen the Niagara falls but cant imagine them being more stunning than these. What makes them even more interesting is they are set in the jungle and there are toucans and condors whirling overhead and swallows skimming through the falls. I finally ran out of superlatives. Stunning, magnificent extraordinary beautiful mesmering and very very scary as they had viewing platforms over the edge of the falls. I edged out very gradually holding very tightly to the rails feeling very nauseous and managed to look down. My sister had to prise my hands off to the railings to get me to move on but it was worth it and the rain stopped and the rainbow came out and it was glorious. We went again the next day and walked down to the bottom and got into a boat which brought us quite near the cascades of water. A little bit like white water rafting but over much too soon. We stayed in a hotel at the very edge of the jungle and sadly you could see that next year that hotel would be in the centre of a built up area. They have a national park around the falls and another one where they rescue and rehabititate animals from the jungle that have been injured mostly by cars!!

pam Hi Olive! Don't think you need to say much more about the falls, the fabulous photo says it all! I did manage to go to Niagara, but these ones look sooo spectacular, and we never had toucans and the fab bird life you talk of. The power of the water is incredible, isn't it - just another one of those things you won't forget on this amazing trip! Thanks for sharing!!
Olwen Hi Olive, great to hear from your travels again, it had been a while. The photo is beautiful and your description really makes me wish I was there. Happy Travels xx
