Niagara Falls

One of the most commercialized falls, many hotels and attractions. This image is take from the Canadian Side.
Great deals can be found in winter when this was taken. Many attractions such as Maids of the Mist don’t operate this time of year.

Iguacu Falls (Iguassu)(Iguazu)

This is a huge collection of falls, stretching for miles. One of the most spectacular in the world. This picture is from the Argentine side. Pay a little more and stay in the park on the Brazilian side. You can walk to the falls in the morning, before the park opens, and have the falls completely to yourself. It is amazing experience!  The boat trip into the falls is on the Argentine side.
