Best of Brazil – Photos from Foz de Iguaçu

ByAndrew

Several years ago our family had the opportunity to visit the spectacular Foz de Iguaçu waterfalls. While we’ve featured video of the Foz here before, I realized we had never shared these first-hand pictures.

Most of these were taken on the Argentine side of the falls, which offered better infrastructure, and more spectacular views.
As one American tourist was heard to say years ago…”Poor Niagara!”
Well-built walkways allow you to get “up close and personal”.
Looking down into the depths of the gorge.
Iguaçu is actually a series of waterfalls, some larger than others.
Our family at the time of the visit. This was taken from the Brazilian side.
An amazing rainbow spanning the river.

Foz de Iguaçu is high on our list of places we would like to return to someday.

A heartwarming story for the holiday season. A group of Brazilian schoolkids surprise a less-fortunate classmate with the gift of a new smart phone.

I love watching old footage of street scenes in cities around the world. To me it is like a window on time, seeing people as they really were, living their normal lives, giving us a snapshot of what life was like at that particular place and time. It’s the closest we will probably ever come…

Best of Brazil: The Water Buffalo Police (Yes, you read that right)

ByAndrew

While there is no evidence that everybody has a water buffalo, there is a squadron of Brazilian police, who do indeed have water buffalo – and ride them on patrol. The island of Marajó – not far from the city of Belém – apparently has one of the largest water buffalo populations in the world,…
