Lying on the border of Argentina and Brazil, the falls are made up of between 150-300 smaller waterfalls, depending on the water level.

Mexico: What a country. Amazing food, alcohol, churches, ruins, and beaches.

I wasn’t disappointed – our first stop in Mexico, leaving Mexico City first up (Don’t worry, we came back) for Puebla, one of the first most important Spanish colonial cities in Mexico. Continue reading “Beautiful buildings and pretty pyramids in Puebla, Mexico”
