Salto do Yucama

This is the falls from the center looking to the right.

We made a trip this weekend to visit the longest (longitudinally) waterfall in the world.  It is called Salto do Yucama, and is a 2 hour drive from Horizontina.It is about 1800 meters long.  We got to go with some other families from Horizontina, which made it even more fun.  When I first saw the waterfall it took my breath away.  It is massive and amazing.  I have never seen anything like it.

Here is our family shot in front of the falls.  The kids loved the waterfall and walking on all the rocks.  Ethan collected several cool rocks.

Here are the boys with their friends.  Funny story...when we got
to the falls, Isaac put on his sunglasses, and Ella, the big sister,
said, "Isaac your sunglasses are cute, I mean handsome."  Isaac
replied, "I got these because they felt the best." 
When I asked him about it later, he blushed and smiled.

Cute picture of Owen and Scott.  Owen was very hot at the falls.

Our drive to the falls provided lots of entertainment as well.  The handy GPS took us on some gravel roads that were not a shortcut.  We spent about 2 hours driving on some terrible gravel roads that actually took us to little towns.  It was up in the mountains and very beautiful.  We were following a Brazillian family, so we thought they knew a shortcut.  Turns out it was a longcut.  We got to see lots of scenery and interesting homes along the way.


Here is Isaac tasting a guava.  He really liked it,
and so did Scott and I.  We stopped for some snacks
and a bathroom stop, and picked these from a
nearby tree.

Here is a cow tied up alongside the road.  This is very common
here in Brazil.  They eat the grass in the ditch, very resourceful.
