Ocular Migraine Communication

Iguazu, wild land.

One evening we depart from Buenos Aires. Our luck with the bus lines will never be huge ... In fact, our beautiful bus has only one flaw: the air conditioning does not work! Not that bother me (my companions meanwhile choke!), But we stopped in many places, and we arrive at the destination semi-destroyed. After a brief stop at the information, where the young ladies are adapted to the sites and explain everything with the slow pace of holiday places, we rush to leave everything in the hostel (equipped with a swimming pool) and we take a wild ride to head .... . .... yes in one place wild. A place inhabited by dangerous animals ... ..



... or at least unexpected from animals, green, and camouflage with the environment ...


But most are so many animals ... MORDANT by name unknown .... that populate these places never made to accommodate human civilization and have fun to remind us!



claw After we remember the human race is in fact a harmful race to the planet, we forget everything as soon as we hear his beastly roar. We drive faster on some ramps (as well as alligators and all other forms of life waters clothing) to the noise deafening, a little 'excited. Many people follow us to see the same thing ... always a bit 'at a distance, because it's getting too risky. Eventually we arrive at the top, and the roaring din do, moist air, chasing the wind, the colors mixed with each other. Yes because we are on top of the beautiful, noisy, wild waterfalls of Iguazu! This system of 700 waterfalls up to 70 meters, on the border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, we admire the most impressive gorge: the Garganta del Diablo .



not happy with the view of the refreshing blasts of water that the wind slams on his face and happy that we welcome, we decided to explore the depths of nature in its rapids and on the bottom of the path. So we set off ... no, we do not launch below. We set off to go rafting down the rapids and emerges near the falls. At first everything seems quiet ....


... but not so long ago that we are already immersed in the waters wild and irreverent fund the largest waterfall. We go under one of smaller waterfalls, water droplets that appear to puncture and sink the boat, and then turn around to the waves formed by the violent clash of forces from above and below, and I feel like maybe I felt when I was born in the middle to extreme forces of dark and toss me back and forth, rejoicing at the thought of dying in those horrifying violent waters and beautiful. Here, the bold:


walks then follow one another in nature, the lush trees and sunshine. Who could imagine such a beautiful day? The fatigue of the journey is taken care of.


the evening we decided to go eat some 'fresh fish, on the advice of the owner of the hostel, a blonde and plump, plain but nice. We enter a restaurant that looks like all the other outside, but inside is just chic. Waiters kept in elegant welcome us with Sauvignon wine (with prices that Argentina enjoyed with more flavor) and succulent dishes of freshwater fish, the Surubi.


The waitress is so sincere in three sentences that can show which of us seems older and younger people (in this case will be Yvette taken multiple times for minor, especially by plane), while Jason seems bigger than her age as compared to the "old man" Derek! Then I ask if, since we eat fish, the river is clean. She candidly says no ... Long live the sincerity! In any case, we enjoy the fish. Still this is better than the most poisonous in the coming years, sic!

The next day the boys and I decide to check out the jungle and feel a bit 'Tarzan. I attack on a liana, realizing my simian origin.


But mostly I find that the rope is not that depicted by the Tarzan movies, that seems to grow from a silly and serves hominids to jump from one tree to another (though I admit that I really want to experience the thrill! AAAUUUU!), but are plants that grow from the bottom and are of trees to climb towards the light. Then they intertwine with each other and with the trees forming a good motorway network for animals that move in the trees! Some can withstand human weight, but those films are cut, then killed him! What harm, the human being ...


proceed around in a militarized zone, since all the rivers are on a border where there is risk of buying illegal drugs and more. This is above the Parana River, which demarcates the border between Argentina and Paraguay. It seems that in these waters are hardened and hungry piranha bypass ... and a Paraguayan tribe which performs the daily rituals on the bed of the river front. Nothing concrete buildings, no skyscrapers, no artificiality. This is life! But the adventure had only just begun ... Do you really believe that we would not have imitated Tarzan?

After canooping, flying over the trees attached to a wire (much like in the picture)



... there is a waterfall in the trees .. . and decide to make a bit 'of rappeling. Beautiful waterfall!



For those curious as to what the rappeling ... here is a home movie with the skiing performance of Derek , and his little pirouette while trying to avoid passing through the waterfall with his shoes and shorts ha ha!




short, Iguazu is an oasis of nature and beauty. A pause for contemplation before the Brazilian cities of Rio first adventure.
