Lifecruisers contribution to theme Wild
© Lifecruiser 2005 (Iguazu Falls, Brazil, South America)

Theme: Wild | Blogroll Info | Next week: Silver

Photo from our trip to Iguazu waterfalls (on the border of Brazil and Argentina) from Estancia Aventura, Paraguay on our South America trip 2005.

Iguazu has 275 (!) waterfalls with an average height of 40 an 80 meters! Much more beautiful than The Niagara Falls! We were visiting Niagara the month before, so we really had it fresh in our memories for comparison.

The Iguazu falls is situated in the beautiful Iguazu National Park, which has 67.000 hectars of tropical rainforest, so it really is out in the nature and not at a city area like Niagara falls.

I think I have to write an own post about this fantastic trip later on… See it in pictures is not quite like in real life, but gives you a hint :-)

    Wow ! Your trip must have been wonderful ! I love waterfalls, they really are wild ! I were a little disappointed about the Niagarafalls, I thought it would be much wilder.

    P.S. You can also mention your background, it’s also wild !

    Lifecruiser: Ha ha ha, yes Gattina you’re right, the flaming background is wild :-) I agree with you at the Niagara Falls, I too were disappointed actually.

    This goes perfectly with the wild-theme! Scary-wild, kind of – there’s something so powerful in big, high waterfalls. Or maybe it’s just my fear of heights :D

    Have you noticed that you might want to call the fire brigade – you blog seems to be on fire? *grin*

    Mine’s up too!

    Lifecruiser: Yes, and I can tell you that you really could walk on the edge of some of the falls, THAT was scary! Phew!

    It’s LOVE flames…. Our hot love put the blog on fire…*lol*

    That is an excellent choice for this week’s theme! You can almost hear the water rushing over the falls as you look at the picture and feel the spray. Fantastic!

    Lifecruiser: Yes, there was a constant noise I can tell you and humid air getting you all wet :-)

    Beautiful! Just gorgeous. :) It sounds like a wonderful trip. I think Niagara Falls is beautiful, but it certainly is an urban area.

    Wonderful photo choice. :) Have a good weekend.

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. Well, after seeing the Iguazu falls, the Niagara falls is like a little baby comparing to these ones! That’s all I can say…

    Dragonheart said:

    That looks beautiful! :grin: Gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by. :-)

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. They really are the very best. I wonder if they might be the most beautiful in the world actually. And that’s why it’s a pity that so few have heard of them! It’s very well arranged there too.

    I do love a good waterfall! This is a very majestic and wild foaming fall! Makes me think of last summers trip to Niagara Falls! Great shot!

    My photo is up! Happy Saturday!

    And here are pictures of our trip last weekend to the falls http://fruityspirit.com/archives/262

    Lifecruiser: Yes, they were majestic alright! Much more feeling of power than Niagara falls even though Niagara falls is nice too. and above all: 275 waterfalls beats almost anything… But every waterfall has it’s charm :-)

    I love your pics, so I’ll pop over :-)

    Your picture almost looks like a painting.

    What a breath-taking view!

    And, just for fun, the chinese for waterfall is “pubu.”

    Thanks for stopping by earlier.

    Lifecruiser: Thanks Amanda. Ah, I like that short chinese version of it better :-)

    Wild woman that you are, I thought you were going to show us your boobs or something.

    Great waterfalls ~ almost as good as our own Niagara Falls ~ now don’t try going done them in a barrel!!

    Lifecruiser: Ha ha ha! Not quite like that ;-) No, no, Iguazu falls beats Niagara falls thousand times!!! The Niagara falls is like a little stream comparing to the wonderful amazing Iguazu – and Iguazu is so much more well-organized with walking paths extremely close and on top of the falls – right there on the edge of them!

    Zoots Mom said:

    How beautiful. I thought last night that I wish I’d had a picture of Niagara Falls…They are beautiful…

    Lifecruiser: …and Niagara falls is like NOTHING comparing to Iguazu – sorry folks, but it’s true.

    See you’ve kept your background so far. Still like it. Love your photo too~would love to see it in person. Mine is up too. Happy weekend.

    Lifecruiser: Yes, I kind of got stuck with the background. It is difficult to leave the flames ;-) Well, if you ever have the opportunity to go there just GOOOOOOO. It’s so worth it!!!!

    my 2 cents said:

    What a beautiful picture! Iguazu Falls has been on my travel list for a long time. I can’t wait to go one day!!

    Lifecruiser: OH, you sure are right to have it on your list. If you ever go anywhere, go there! It’s soooo worth it. I’d go there again if I hadn’t so many other places I want to see too….*s*

    eph2810 said:

    WOW – Mrs. Lifecruiser. That is beautiful. I have never been to a massive waterfall like that. We have some waterfalls here in AZ, but nothing like that…Thank you for bringing the world to me :)
    Happy Saturday.

    Lifecruiser: Never had I before this. Sure we did see another type of waterfalls on Iceland and the Niagara falls, but nothing beats these ones. Maybe we have to investigate if there is any others to visit…. ‘lol*

    33
    Cuidado said:

    I love the flames on your blog. I painted my bedroom to look like that. I love it and yes, I have hot flashes.

    Lifecruiser: Thanks Cuidado. Wow, a bedroom like this, how hot wouldn’t that be! It must look soooo hot!!!! *S*

    34
    Christina said:

    What a great photo! Those waterfalls look so powerful and wild :mrgreen: I can only imagine what a fabulous trip that was!!

    Lifecruiser: It was difficult to take photos because of the humidity there and we didn’t have that good cameras, otherwise the photos may have come out even better than this. But it sure is difficult to get it all in one picture – 275 falls!!!

    35
    srp said:

    What a gorgeous and WILD place to visit. I hope they are able to preserve this for generations to come. Simply lush!

    Lifecruiser: Yes, since it’s a national park and on the world heritage list I think they will be able. At least that they’ll try as long as it can be done.

    36
    Sanni said:

    Stunning picture! Thanks for sharing this. I´d like to spend some holidays there as well =)

    Lifecruiser: I’m dreaming…..

    Becci said:

    what a beautiful waterfalls! At first I thought it was Niagra Falls, Canada…where I have been numerous times, then I realized, you didnt take a photo there…yours are beautiful. Thanks for visiting my photo hunt today

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. Yes, they are adorable actually. Devine. Magnificent. Actually, we did take pictures of Niagara falls, but very few since it was blowing that day so there was difficulty to protect the cameras from all the ater and humidity….

    39
    Frances said:

    Magnificent. I can feel the spray coming off my monitor.
    Thanks for visiting.
    You leave the nicest comments :lol:

    Lifecruiser: Yes, me too, I remember everything like it was yesterday and I suspect I will for the rest of my life, it was that fantastic!

    Angelo said:

    Wow beautiful falls! They do look wilder than Niagara Falls! Do people try to go down in barrels like at Niagara, that would be wild but suicidal :) Happy Photohunting :)

    Lifecruiser: Well, I didn’t hear of any barrels, so let’s hope not :-) They were definitely wilder than Niagara falls…

    Daisy the Curly Cat said:

    Wow, that photo is very beautiful. But I am very scared of that much water. :shock:

    Thanks for visiting me.

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. Well, it was so beautiful in real life so I forgot to be afraid :-)

    Tricia said:

    Oh that’s just beautiful! At first glance I thought it was Niagara Falls but noticed it wasn’t shaped or angled correctly. LOL That’s a HUGE falls. Lovely and wild.

    Marcia said:

    Wow, awesome! Makes our Snoqualmie Falls look like a miniature and it is taller than Niagra Falls, but no where close to being as spectacular as these.

    Lifecruiser: Well, even smaller waterfalls are stilll beautiful, but more in a quiet way :-)
