Description The name Iguazu comes from the Guarani or Tupi words y (water) and guasú (big). Legend has it that a god planned to marry a beautiful aborigine named Naipí, who fled with her mortal lover Tarobá in a canoe. In rage, the god sliced the river creating the waterfalls, condemning the lovers to an eternal fall.

This picture could have been better if you had removed the leaves in the foreground cause the silhouettes of them ruins the picture.

The tourists in the picture also removes the feel of the picture.

Otherwise the picture is cool

Yes.. but i think it would be a little dificult to remove.. the angle wasn't too good.

And it's impossible to remove the tourists ehehheeh

I tried to show where the tourists stay to enjoy the view

Thx
