Foz do Iguacu Puerto Iguazu

Natalie and I got up the next morning and made our way to the bus terminal to get
tickets for our bus ride to Buenes Airies; that was a bit of a challengebut after returning to the hostel for additional information, then checking a few bus companies out, out we found one
that was supposedly 14 hours compared to 19. The issues was that the …

It´s quite usual while travelling in these countries to meet people who are doing a circuit of typical haunts, and you get to meet people who just came from where you´re headed (handy for extra tips), or are going in the same direction (a ready source of companions and alternative ideas).

Once again, Anj and I were headed in the same …

Iguacu Falls: you'd be hard pressed finding a bucket list without this on it. Now I was in the country and there was no way I was going to miss it. But I was a little bit nervous: The Pantanal wetlands were dry and they sit barely 500km away. Thankfully there was no stopping mother nature this time! Cranking out a massive flowrate, it truly is an …

The Iguazu Falls are a massive display of waterfalls that you can explore in Argentina and see from Brazil.

Unfortunately I went on a rainy day and got absolutely soaked, so despite it being really awe-inspiring I was freezing cold and wet for a few hours.

The day before going to the falls, ironically with excellent weather, I …

Next we headed to Foz de Iguazu the Brazilian side of the famous Iguassu
Falls. They were pretty spectacular to see! They are so huge and
border Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay! We walked out onto the bridge
that goes into the middle and got soaked. You could feel the power of the water from there and that was as close as I wanted to get …

We headed from Puerto Iguazu to Brazil. What I remembered as being a small, out of the way border crossing, felt like a large very busy border crossing with several lanes of traffic moving through.

Fabio took care of us and got us through the Argentina departure and the Brazil imigration. It took a little while to get all of the paperwork …

So today I planned to go to the waterfalls, but which side should I do first? I have a choice, Argentina or Brazil? The hostel recommends that you do the Brazilian side first and then the Argentinian side second.

I decided to go with the hostel's recommendation and do Brazilian side today. It only takes about 5 minutes to get to the …

So the Brazilian side had a lot to live up to but we were excited to see the falls from a different view. We set off first thing in the morning, unlike the Argentinan side, to do any other walks or activies extra money had to be paid, so to just see the falls it only took about 2 hours. It was a really cloudy grey day as we set off which was …

The journey to get to and from Iguazu Falls has been immense - but worth every single second! We left wonderful Trindade at the crack of dawn to begin our travels, first to Paraty then from there to Sao Paulo - South America's biggest bus station (6 hrs, R44) - a city that just seems to go on and on - absolutely enormous! We only had a few hours …
