sooooo, we took a little boat ride up the Rio Iguazu toward the falls to get a different perspective. The captain was a cowboy and he took the boat directly into and under the falls to ride some rapids and take on water. Technically, these were class XIV rapids because of the sheering force of the w-w-w-water and the possibility of it sheering off your head as you passed through . . . 3 times.
