Chapter 890 Fly for Two Hours First
After leaving the Basque trolley sculpture, it took a few minutes for the convoy to arrive at the "Three Kingdoms at a Glance" viewing platform at the westernmost end of Iguazu Avenue.
Most countries in South America like to use a certain river as their border. The Parana River and the Iguazu River are two of the more famous border rivers.
The Iguazu River flowing from east to west finally merges into the Parana River running north-south, and forms a huge horizontal "T" shape here.The north-south Parana River is the horizontal side of the T, while the east-west Iguazu River is the vertical side.
What kind of scenery will the two boundary rivers meet here?It's very simple, that is, the borders of the three countries meet here!
Paraguay to the east of the Parana River, Brazil to the west of the Parana River, north of the Iguazu River, and Argentina to the south of the Iguazu River.
Therefore, the people of Puerto Iguazu built a huge viewing platform at the confluence of the two rivers, where they can see three different countries at a glance.
In fact, there are many places where the three countries meet in the world, and there are even places where the four countries meet, such as Zambia, Namibia, Botswana in Africa, and Kazungula, a small town where the four countries in Zimbabwe meet.
However, the "Three Kingdoms at a Glance" viewing platform in Puerto Iguazu is relatively famous.
On this viewing platform there is a monument to the flags of the three countries, with the flag of Argentina in the middle, the flag of Paraguay on the left, and the flag of Brazil on the right.
In fact, on the other side of the Iguazu River, there is also a similar "Three Kingdoms at a Glance" viewing platform, but it is to enjoy the scenery of the three countries from the Brazilian side.
After everyone stayed here for about half an hour, they found a restaurant in Puerto Iguazu to prepare lunch, and after lunch, they were ready to leave for Iguazu Falls.
From Puerto Iguazu to Iguazu Falls, you need to walk nearly [-] kilometers.Counting the time out of the city, the convoy arrived at the Iguazu National Park Visitor Center about an hour later.
There are two huge parking lots here. Dozens of buses are parked on one side, and many private cars are parked on the other side.Naturally, Yang Jing's motorcade also stopped here.
Private cars and tourist buses can only get here, and if you want to go further into the park, you have to take the unique small train in AD.
Sitting on the small train, I soon came to the Iguazu Falls.
This large waterfall covers a wide area, so it is not so easy to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
At this time, it has entered the wet season, so the flow of the waterfall is very large. In the dry season, the "forked" waterfalls are almost all connected together at this time, forming the most spectacular Iguazu Falls.
The raging and roaring Iguazu River turned a big horseshoe-shaped bend here, and then the river fell into a river channel as deep as more than 70 meters, forming a series of waterfalls.During the wet season, the Iguazu Falls will join together to form a huge waterfall with a width of four kilometers.
Yang Jing and the others came to appreciate the Great Falls from the Argentine side. Here, you can enjoy the Devil's Throat up close. A trestle bridge several hundred meters long extends directly below the Devil's Throat. Tourists stand on the bridge and look up. You can fully feel the shock of the Great Falls.
The Devil's Throat is the most majestic section of the Iguazu Falls. Unlike the waterfall in Brazil, which is divided into two layers, the Devil's Throat on the Argentine side is a channel where the river falls directly into a river more than 80 meters deep, forming the Iguazu Falls. The most spectacular Devil's Throat in the Guasu Waterfalls.
The local Indians believe that there is a devil living behind this waterfall, so it is called Devil's Throat.
Appreciating the Devil's Throat at close range, the shock is even more shocking than the flood discharge of the Itaipu Hydropower Station seen yesterday.During the wet season, the flow of this waterfall exceeds 1.2 cubic meters per second, which is far beyond the flood from the floodgate of the Itaipu Hydropower Station.
A huge water curtain falls from a cliff more than 80 meters high, making a thunderous roar, while the splashed water mist can rise to a height of hundreds of meters, forming a dense mist above the waterfall.
Yang Jing and his group were all overwhelmed by this spectacular scenery. You can't understand how strong the shock is unless you experience it up close.
Yang Jing claimed to be well-informed, but today he still feels his insignificance in front of this miracle of nature.
In Brazil, opposite the Devil's Throat, a vertical elevator was built against the cliff, which is the Devil's Throat Elevator.From the observation deck at the top of that lift, you can clearly see the Devil's Throat on the Brazilian side.It's just that the effect is far inferior to enjoying the Devil's Throat up close on the trestle bridge on the Argentine side.
After staying here at Devil's Throat for about half an hour, everyone's clothes were soaked by the mist, and Yang Jing and the others left here reluctantly.
After watching the spectacular Devil's Throat, you also need to take a look at the second-tier waterfall.
The most spectacular section of the Iguazu Falls is the Devil's Throat, but the second-story waterfall on the Brazilian side is also very beautiful.
The river here is divided into two layers, like steps. The rolling Iguazu River falls more than 30 meters from the first layer of the river and falls into the second layer of the river, and then flows forward for more than 100 meters, and finally falls into the last layer. The two-story river channel forms a spectacular two-story waterfall here.
At this time, in the waterfall at the bottom, there are several speedboats carrying dozens of people, playing "Crossing Waterfall"!
The so-called rushing to the waterfall means that the tourists sit on the assault boat, and then the driver drives the charge to approach the waterfall at a close distance.From a distance, this kind of action seems to be hitting the waterfall, so it is called rushing the waterfall.
But in fact, it is absolutely impossible for an assault boat to hit the waterfall.With the flow of the Iguazu Falls, let alone a small assault boat, even a destroyer would probably be washed away by the waterfall in minutes.
So this kind of activity is actually to let tourists get close to the waterfall.
In Niagara Falls in North America, there are similar activities, which are very popular among tourists.
"Do you want to rush in too?" Yang Jing asked Ge Ge, who was wet all over, in a low voice.
"Well, no, it looks scary. If the assault boat really rushes into the waterfall, it will be overturned in a short while."
Comrade Xiao Wang on the side said: "Sister-in-law, if you don't go to the waterfall, you can take a helicopter to enjoy the waterfall from a high altitude. There are tourist helicopters in Brazil, and there are also helicopters in Argentina."
"Take a helicopter?" Grid seemed tempted.
Xiao Wang said: "Taking this helicopter to enjoy the scenery at high altitude is indeed a different feeling, but the price is a bit expensive. A six-seater helicopter costs 10 US dollars for a 180-minute flight, and [-] US dollars for a half-hour flight!"
The price is okay!Anyway, Yang Jing didn't think it was too expensive.So after discussing, Yang Jing chartered a helicopter with great vigor—flying for two hours first.
