I don’t know what these are, but they are beautiful and different.

Iguazu Falls Brazil Side Bird Sanctuary Birds

I stood in awe of the scarlet #ibis—such a rich color.
The Bare-faced #Curassow waves hello. I love the curly crown.
And Perito met a new species.
Iguazu Falls Brazil Side Hike

We hiked along the Brazil side looking toward the Argentinian side. The falls just stretched on, and on, and on…
Iguazu Falls Boat Ride
Post #43
After riding the helicopter, Adriana, Perito, and I took the boat ride into—literally—the falls. It was like being in a wild and ferocious storm. I couldn’t do anything while the water pounded. My baseball cap was worthless for protection.
As I have often done, I set my phone up for video. And as I have often done, I ended up getting a nice recording of my shirt–or in this case, life vest. Sh*t.
Here’s something of what I have–thank you, Adriana Bertola! As you can see, Perito gets noticed. He rode the waterfall in a plastic bag.

I love taking photos with my real camera—I maybe took 10,000 on this trip—so here are some from the Helicopter ride.
Iguazu Falls

Ever since watching the 1986 movie “The Mission,” I was fascinated by Iguazu Falls and wanted to see it for myself.
That dream was finally realized. It only took 39 years, but it came true.
To get the overall perspective, Adriana, Perito, and I started with a helicopter ride overhead.
WOW.
And Perito got a bird’s eye view from the very front of the cockpit.
Tango
Post #40
My brother urged me to go see a real tango dance performance. So when Adriana and I arrived in Iguazu, we went to a show.
It was held at a casino, and when we arrived we were given some digital tokens to use in the gambling machines. Of course, the instructions were in Spanish. I watched Adriana win some money. When I sat down, I understood nothing—especially because I had never touched a gambling machine before. So I just pressed buttons, Homer Simpson style.
Slurp went all the digital tokens.
Easy come, easy go.
The performance, however, was a new experience and we enjoyed it. The dancers did both tango and gaucho styles. They demonstrated incredible athletic skill. We had a nice evening and enjoyed the novelty.
