Falls & lizards
Iguaçu Falls isn’t just a natural wonder; it’s a journey through dense forests, vibrant wildlife, and breathtaking beauty. This photo series captures the power of the falls, the reptiles that call the park home, and the magic of experiencing it all at sunset.

The journey to Iguaçu Falls was as astounding as the destination itself. Walking through the lush trails of the national park, I was surrounded by the sounds of chirping birds, rustling leaves, and the occasional scurry of a western collared spiny lizard. The air felt alive with anticipation as the roar of the falls grew louder, guiding me to one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights.
Reaching the falls at sunset felt almost surreal. The golden light danced off the cascading water, creating rainbows in the mist while the surrounding forest glowed with warmth. It was a moment of wonder that felt incredibly intimate yet remarkably grand, reminding me of the delicate balance of life here. Beyond its beauty, the park is also a hub for conservation, working to protect its diverse ecosystems and the reptiles that thrive in its unique habitats.
