Trips
Antarctica and Argentina
11/20/2021
: After the itinerary for our trip to Antarctica was shortened (coronavirus), we decided to use the extra five days to check out Iguazu Falls once and for all. Everyone wants to say Iguazu is the greatest waterfall or maybe it is Mosi oa Tunya Falls in Southern Africa.
Now that I have been to both, I can say without question that Mosi (Victoria Falls) is the more impressive waterfalls location. Iguazu is very impressive as well and will take the silver medal.
There, I said it.
