El Diablo--Iguazu

I took the narrow-gauge railroad up the river to the steel walkway out to El Diablo Falls.


The elevated walkway is shown in red.

It was 1100 meters along the walkway that spanned the river between little islands along the way. Saw an alligator about 10 ft. long lying in the warm, shallow water.

Also came across the old walkway that was washed away by flooding about 10 years ago. It took a different route than the current walkway but was built of concrete. Whereas the current walkway was steel mesh through which the water could flow and not provide as much an impedance for the rising water.

Finally, through the hot sun and additional humidity I arrived at El Diablo.

On the return walk I met this stunning Brazilian Jay.
