Tour #3 - Lower Falls (Argentina) |
||
|
|
||
|
After completing tours #1 & #2 (see red routes on the map), we took a short lunch break. After the break we walked to the "Lower Circuit" area (see red #3 on the bottom-right of the map). From this trail we will see the bottom part of the falls that we walked on top of during Tour #2. I sure hope that made sense!

 |
| The "after-lunch" group. | Happy to find some shade! | The "wall of falls" in the back. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| At about this time the noise from the falls made us talk louder. | The view changed slightly as we rounded every corner... | |
 |
 |
 |

 |
 |
| The
sun came out strong and the view opened up. We got a good feel of the strength of this series of waterfalls. |
No beauty contest for this sweaty guy... it was hot! | |

 |
| A frontal view of these falls... |
... the upper one was serene, but the lower one was turbulent. |
|

 |
 |
| To
the right of that big waterfall is the "wall of falls" |
The trail we took on the previous tour is above these falls. | This frontal view shows the path that the water takes. |
|
|
||
 As we neared the end of the trail, we could see the "step formation" quite easily. |
 |
 Yes, there are still more falls, with this one at the end being quite spectacular. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
|
At the end we were below one of the bigger waterfalls. |
||
|
During the previous tour we walked above this waterfall and were looking down... remember? |
||
|
|
||
 |
 |
|
| The noise was loud and there was lots of mist... up close the water was rushing and in turmoil! | ||
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| From the top the smaller falls don't look very "mean". | But looking from the top gives you a different feel... | ... and you realize that even the small falls are quite something! |
