Cataratas Brasileiras -

(if you get bored half way down just go to the bottom of the page for links to other pages)

Upstream of the falls you can see the spray rising from the depths

Getting a glimpse of what is in store before descending to the walkway under the falls

On the way down.....

	These agile creatures are always on the lookout for tidbits. They spend their time investigating the rubbish bins, any neglected backpack, stealing snack from small childred and generally scavenging - it is best not to feed them ~ they bite and God only knows what they were chewing last!
	As you descend the walkway and steps you get tantalising glimpses of what lies in store
	There are assorted viewpoints from which to take pictures

	I, of course was sidetracked by the plants and insects along the way, this white passion flower caught my eye but I would be glad of any names anyone can provide for the other plants and, indeed the butterflies.
	The viewpoints are mostly full of Japanese taking photographs, but patience is rewarded eventually. This notice was irresistable.
	In this picture you can finally see the walkway out to the falls - this was where we were heading

This set of pictures were taken on the walkway - it was hard to keep the camera dry. The spray is delightfully cooling after the walk down but soon you get soaked.

Looking downstream from the walkway


These two overlap and you can clearly see the droplets of spray on the lens

This was taken from the base of the lift (elevator) which takes you back to the top - it is not as ramshackle as it looks - there is a new fence built inside this mess
