| As you can see from this map taken from a wooden plaque in the park on the Argentinian side there's a lot of trails on both sides of the falls. On the lower Brasil side is the path from the hotel to the mouth of the falls. The paths on the Argentinian side are high above the waterfalls. All the paths corssing the falls were close because of the high water levels. | |

as good as these that show or explain the importance of this mega power
generating facility.
The statistics on this facility were so large that we became numb. It's like thinking about the US budget - trillion this, billions that, ahemm.. |
