What does the Iguazu Falls look like? There are as many shapes as there are eyes willing to see
Not easy to photograph the 275-cataract-strong Iguassu Falls |
What shape is this by the way? Iguaçu National Park Photo |
"It is misleading to say that the Iguaçu Falls have the shape of an inverted "U" with a left leg much shorter than the right one. The left side of this "U" corresponds to what is conventionally called the Brazilian Side or Brazilian Falls. Some say the format is an inverted "J". In fact, if you have the chance to take a closer look, preferably aboard a helicopter you will see that the figure is much more complex than a simple "U" letter. It might be a "U" with many internal ramifications. Likewise, it has little to do with the inverted "J" figure" (Transcript of a paragraph of my book being translated to or rewritten in English.

The photos below were taken from a boat that take tourists way up the Iguassu River Canyon all the way to Cascading waterfalls. They show that seen from "inside" the falls, there a multiple ways to see the Falls's structure and "design". Design?
