RAINBOW NIGHT IN IGUAZU

You can enjoy the night Rainbow in Iguazu Falls in full moon nights and is a very beautiful experience.
The best place to see it is from the Devil’s Throat, the main jump Iguazu Falls is one of the most interesting activities to do in the Iguazu Falls, the sad thing is that only for a few nights a month, during nights full moon.

The night rainbow is a phenomenon that occurs by the passage of moonlight through tiny water particles which are dispersed in the air, when water falls hard in the waterfalls.

In the area of the Iguazu Falls at night the forest is magic in its purest form, perfect combination of the mist produced by waterfalls, silhouettes and shadows of the trees dimly lit by the moon and all accompanied by the sounds of jungle: a melody of crickets, cicadas, rustling leaves flapping in the breeze, accompanied by the sound of water falling from a great height.

In the dimly dark night studded with stars where reigns the moon bathed with light the towering waterfall, emerges from the back of the throat a set of seven vertical and parallel to jump colors: the wonderful rainbow definitely the natural spectacle more stunning, shocking and wonderful I’ve seen so far … and that has been burned into my retina.

Only nature and fantasy can create such a spectacle, it is no wonder that the Indians believed that the moon, the sun and even the river were gods, because the man with all his monumental works of architecture, can never match the rainbow they can “draw” water and light at night.

Practical information to watch the night rainbow from Puerto Iguazu (Argentina).
The visit can be done in 3 ways:
Staying at the Sheraton which is located within the Argentine National Park.
Getting travel to the park entrance (should be taxi line because buses were not working at night) and it is necessary to agree the wait and return with the driver.
An excursion in Puerto Iguazu, there are many agencies that offer and if you are one or two may be more interesting the price catch a taxi, because I remember it was “cheap”.

In all three cases visitors gather at the information center and then access the Devil’s Throat in the ecological train that runs through the park.
Once in the gorge there is enough to enjoy under the full moon falls and rainbow magic time.

I do not know if there are private visits but despite not alone but with dozens of tourists, the show is unique and if you doubt when I will return to Iguazú full moon night …
