After a morning's walk up and down the Circuito Inferior (Lower Trail) and Circuito Superior (Upper Trails) in Argentina's Parque Nacional Iguazú, I spent the afternoon in the largest waterfall among the Iguazú Falls - Garganta Del Diablo, translated into "Devil's Throat" in English.

Because it is at the far end of the National Park, we had to take a small locomotive to get there. After getting off the mini-train, there is still about 20 to 30 minutes' walk to the head of the Waterfall on an elevated trail.

No more words are needed. Just look at the following pictures to see how grand and powerful this Waterfall is (and what a "deep throat" it is!). This waterfall actually inspired Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai for his masterpiece "Happy Together"...
