The Most Beautiful Place I've Seen...

...is Iguazu Falls, on the border of Argentina and Brazil. Niagara Falls, beautiful as it may be, is the unborn fetal twin of Iguazu. There are 2 sides: the Brazilian side gives you a panoramic view of most of the falls, whereas the Argentine side gets you up close and personal. Everytime I walked around a corner on the Brazil side I would keep seeing more falls, more rushing water. I took a lot of pictures, but they still won't be able to give someone the feeling of what it is like to be there, to see this place. Absolutely gorgeous.

The Argentine side was even better cuz we got to walk alongside the tips of the falls and things were so much closer and more intimate. As my British buddy on my tour, Andy, pointed out (to be fair, I have many British buddies on this tour), it's kind of freaky walking along this pathway set up at the edge of these falls, when they are growing all the time. The sheer force of the water is pounding away at the rocks and the edges, so they eventually give and break away. One day they will need to make completely new pathways because these falls will have expanded even more.

My recommendation is, if you ever want to travel to see something of sheer, incredible, unbelievable beauty and raw, natural power... come see these falls. The upside is that Argentina is a lot cheaper of a place to visit than the US for example (which is where the second most beautiful place I've ever seen is: Yellowstone National Park). The further upside is also that people in South America tend to love Canadians (haha f--- you, American friends whom I love).

Seriously... the widest range of waterfalls in the world. And I got to take a speedboat that drove us right into them. Fuckin' awesome. Absolutely fuckin' awesome.
