Iguazu Falls - Argentina

We are now planning our trip to New England. In fact, it's becoming a trip to Canada, more than the US. We have now decided we want to go to the Niagara Falls too. The first time I heard of the Niagara Falls was when I was a child, watching the film Niagara starring Marilyn Monroe. the falls became world-wide known after this film. Everybody knows about them. We also tend to think they are the biggest falls in the world when, in fact, that's not true. Victoria Falls in Africa are the widest. It is also said that Iguazu falls in Argentina are the most spectacular. If the Niagara Falls are not the biggest or the most spectacular then..what are they? Ahhh..the stuff of dreams! A Hollywood myth. Hollywood's magic is indeed very powerful.


Estamos preparando nuestras vacaciones en New England. De hecho, se estan convirtiendo en unas vacaciones en Canada, mas que en USA. Ayer decidimos que tambien queremos ir a las Cascadas del Niagara . La primera vez que vi estas cascadas fue en mi niniez, en la pelicula Niagara, con Marilyn Monroe de protagonista. Sera por el 'toque magico' de Hollywood que a todo el mundo le suenan las cataratas del Niagara. Como consecuencia, la mayoria piensa que deben ser las cataratas mas grandes del mundo. Y no es asi, ya que el honor corresponde a las cataratas Victoria , en Africa. Tambien se dice que las cataratas mas espectaculares son las de Iguazu , en Argentina. Asi que si las cataratas del Niagara no son las mas grandes ni las mas espectaculares.. que son, entonces? Un suenio. Un mito de Hollywood. Y la magia de Hollywood es muy poderosa!
