The air changes long before you see the cascade: on the overnight bus the city lights blur, and by morning the horizon opens to a band of green and the distant roar that grows into a physical presence. Arriving in Puerto Iguazú, the damp heat and the scent of earth and foliage announce a landscape where water insists on movement — rivers daring you forward, spray pushing sunlight into prisms.
