68. Cataratas del Iguazú, as viewed from the top, on the Argentinian side on 6/11/23. There were some extensive damages to the infrastructures on this side of the falls but we could access most of them and again enjoy truly spectacular views of the waterfalls, and new sightings of black vultures and Coatis as well as of monkeys and Jay birds.
67. Cataratas do Iguaçu, as viewed from the Brazilian side on 5/11/23. At the peak of the floods (31/10/23) it was reported that some 24,100 cubic meters per second of water were flowing in the Iguazu River, almost 20 times the average debit of the river. Some damages to the infrastructures meant some parts were still not accessible when we were there but we could access most of them and enjoy truly spectacular views of the waterfalls, and sightings of black vultures, Coatis, lizards, woodpeckers, owls and other local birds.
