Yesterday, Bob and I toured 270 waterfalls in Iguazu Falls. Today - we're off to Buenos Aires and another overnight bus ride! It was great to see the Falls with dad, who leaves no question unasked. We explored almost every inch of the park in a day and will sleep well tonight!
In guarani language, the term "Iguazú" means "great waters". It was discovered in 1541 by Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and established in 1984 as Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Its now also considered one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Eleanor Roosevelt visited the site and her famous quote lives in each history write-up of the Falls: "Poor Niagra!"
