A lot better prepared and sun protected today, we even purchased some hats! We had an early start after a light breakfast at the hotel and set off to explore the Lower circuit first which was about 3km. This included lots of trails, bridges and viewing platforms giving awesome, up close views of the falls and a lot of refreshing spray which we needed to try to keep cool. This track descended to the level of the river below the waterfalls.
From the base of the Lower Circuit, we got a boat across to San Martin Island which also has trails of its own giving good views of several waterfalls. The best view was looking down on Salto San Martin, a huge furious cauldron of water, one that we later explore in a much closer encounter.
After lunch we tackled the Upper Circuit which was actually an easy (when you are dripping in sweat and fighting the crowds) 650m walk each way with many viewing platforms looking down over the edge of the falls and at the masses of flowing water supplying them.
This is definitely the most amazing sight and certainly the most impressive natural wonder I've ever seen. I was speechless and overwhelmed and could have stayed forever.
