Devil's Throat- the Raw Power + Wildlife of Iguazu Falls

Walk a kilometer atop a metal plank with railings, over a stretch of water, which, at two miles wide, seems more like a large lake than river. Gazing over the 2 mile wide flow of water. I see white smoke in the distance which magically transforms into water vapor, cooling me as I draw closer. 

Raw Power surging over a cliff.; water pouring in Universal quantitates. Thoughts vacate the mind, or perhaps are deafened by the thunderous volume of water pouring over the cliff into the 300 foot deep abyss below. Rather than making me feel small I utterly cease to exist. My jaw drops, bouncing lightly off the floor in appreciation for the majesty and power I am witnessing. 

I stand there spellbound for over an hour, watching the this natural water, listening to nature’s concert, feeling absolute awe. 

It stays with me still today. The world is beautiful and magical place.
