In April, Solange, me and my parents visited Foz de Iguaçu in the southern part of Brazil. It is generally thought to be the largest and most spectacular water fall in the entire world.
I made an HD video of our adventures and sights right after the trip. I was quite proud of the video particular but somehow it did not capture the full effect of how spectacular are the falls at Foz de Iguaçu. So I now have made a new slide show of the same trip. I have found a new technology which allows full screen of slides in resolutions much greater than HD at 720 p. So check it out below, just make sure you watch it in full screen mode. I think it is pretty self explanatory and leave a comment about what you think.
Wow! Spectacular pictures, Rob. Looks like it was a great trip.
Motorboats? Helicopters? How times have changed!. I first visited the the falls in 1952 when I was a student working in Sao Jose dos Campos. My roommate and I took a rowboat ride out to Garganta do Diabo. I remember hoping our rower didn’t get a cramp. In 1975 I took my wife on a nostalgic trip to Brazil, and again visited the falls. Hotel das Cataractas was still isolated, and the rowboat was still the only transportation above the falls.
1962. I’m not that old.
