What’s the experience like?

Ever wondered if 275 waterfalls could actually drown out your thoughts? At Iguazu Falls, standing on the Brazilian side with that endless roar and mist curling up into my face, I sort of forgot about everything else. Our guide, Ana, pointed out the “Garganta do Diabo”—the Devil’s Throat—where the water just drops away into this white chaos. I tried to take a photo but my lens fogged up instantly. The air tasted like river and moss. There were rainbows everywhere, but not the cheesy kind you see in postcards—these ones felt earned, you know?

After drying off (sort of), we piled back in the van—Ana kept us laughing about her first job selling coconut water here—and headed for Dreamland. The wax museum was next. It’s weird seeing Michael Jackson and Einstein standing together, both life-size and slightly too shiny. My niece got spooked by the Pope; I guess he looked too real? Then there was this room with world monuments—mini Eiffel Tower, Christ the Redeemer—felt like a fever dream after all that nature. I tried to say “Terracotta Army” in Portuguese and butchered it; Ana just grinned.

The Ice Bar is freezing—like, actual below-zero cold. They hand you these puffy coats that smell faintly of pine disinfectant (not unpleasant) and pour drinks into glasses made of ice. My fingers went numb after two sips but it was fun watching everyone try to look cool while shivering. Last stop: Dinosaur Park outside, where these animatronic dinos move their heads and roar at random intervals. Kids loved it; honestly, so did I. The T-Rex is huge—twelve meters high—and its eyes follow you around if you linger too long.

I didn’t expect to end my day comparing waterfall spray to robot dinosaur breath but here we are. Sometimes travel just throws all its colors at you at once—and somehow it works.
