This series was taken from a Helicopter, via drone and also from land as part of a project in Brazil. The Cataratas do Iguacu are an overwhelming natural wonder on the border between Brazil and Argentina. Stretching for nearly 2.7 kilometers, they consist of over 275 waterfalls and are a true homage to the beauty and power of nature. The water flows gently over the rocks, forming shimmering curtains that glisten in the sunlight, while the surrounding jungle adds an aura of mystery and untouched beauty.



Yet, the Cataratas do Iguacu are also a testament to the incredible strength of nature. The water plunges during the rainy season with thunderous force, creating a deafening roar and rising high into the air. The energy and dynamism of nature are palpable.



In this perfect harmony of beauty and strength, the Cataratas do Iguacu remind us of the awe of nature and our connection to the Earth. A gift from nature that highlights our need to appreciate and protect these wonders.
