伊瓜蘇大瀑布遊記 - 世界上最大的瀑布群
我們今年二月坐游輪去南美智利與阿根廷旅遊,最後在布宜諾斯艾利斯(Buenos Aires,我聽西語發音都接近「布宜諾載瑞斯」)下船,然後我們再坐小飛機飛到阿根廷的伊瓜蘇市(Iguazu)。第二天,我們進入伊瓜蘇國家公園,開始艱難的伊瓜蘇大瀑布之旅。
伊瓜蘇大瀑布在阿根廷的東北角,與巴西交界,是世界上最大的瀑布群,一共有270個瀑布。它百分之七十在阿根廷境內,有上中下三條路線與不同的觀賞景點,還可以坐汽艇沿河而上。我們先走下面一條路線,再走中間,從不同的角度去看這個宏偉的瀑布,每一段都要走很長的山路與棧道。
最上面的路線,則要先坐一段蠻長的小火車,還要再走許多路,然後就到了峽谷頂部的瀑布中心,這裡水流最大最猛,人稱「魔鬼喉」。瀑布分佈於峽谷兩邊,阿根廷與巴西就以此峽谷為界,在阿根廷和巴西觀賞到的瀑布景色也截然不同。可惜我們這次只能在阿根廷這一面觀看。
身歷其境在「魔鬼喉」,耳聽大水隆隆的巨響,眼觀14個巨大的瀑布水流,和水氣形成的「永不消失的彩虹」,真是嘆為觀止。
「德至矣哉,大矣!如天之無不幬也,如地之無不載也。雖甚盛德,其蔑以加於此矣,觀止矣。若有他樂,吾不敢請已。」
最後幾張照片就是「魔鬼喉」。
We were at Iguazu Falls early February. Iguazu Falls located in Misiones Province in the Northeastern tip of Argentina and bordering the Brazilian state of Parana to the north, Iguazú National Park, jointly with its sister park Iguaçu in Brazil, is among the world』s visually and acoustically most stunning natural sites for its massive waterfalls. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1984. Across a width of almost three kilometres the Iguazú or Iguaçu River, drops vertically some 80 meters in a series of cataracts. The river, aptly named after the indigenous term for 「great water」 forms a large bend in the shape of a horseshoe in the heart of the two parks and constitutes the international border between Argentina and Brazil before it flows into the mighty Parana River less than 25 kilometres downriver from the park. Large clouds of spray permanently soak the many river islands and the surrounding riverine forests, creating an extremely humid micro-climate favouring lush and dense sub-tropical vegetation harbouring a diverse fauna.
