Iguazu Falls Iguazu National Park

Thursday morning off to Iguacu staff of hotel waved us off. Arrived lunch
time - phew is it humid! temp 34 and humidity 80%. We are staying on the
Argentinian side in Puerto Iguacu, a funky town, so laid back it is almost
asleep. Beautiful hotel. I picked well!! set amidst tropical gardens with
views over the River and air …

Ola chicos!!

After spending a week and a half in Brazil (cut short because it was soo expensive), we arrived in Argentina on 20 November...country number 8 on our trip I believe. We took an overnight bus from Paraty via Sao Paolo in Brazil which took a full day but fortunately the busses are a
LOT better than in Asia. They serve food …

After what we were anticipating to be a 15 hour bus ride, turns out was actually 17 and a half, we finally arrived in Foz de Iguazu.

Brazilian buses are interesting things:
1. They stop in the middle of nowhere at strange times so people can get food. Not just once or twice but a number of times.
2. The drivers are insane. Either …

Hi, I managed to book a tour when I Arrived at La Cantera Jungle Lodge for the Sunday to go to the Argentinian Side of the falls, so I was up at 6am getting ready and left for the falls on the bus at 8am. It transpired that I was the only English speaking person on the tour. And as I booked it though the Hotel I had next to no information on what I …

Getting a late bus is always a pain because you have to hang around for the day. Our bus was at 4pm but the check out of the hostel was 11am so we had a few hours to kill. Luckily the hostel didn't mind us chilling in their garden. Before catching a cab to the bus station we got a chicken and chips in a local place where they had the news on. You …

So the next day we headed to the Argentinian side of the falls. We had limited time at the falls as Anj was flying back to BA later in the day, so the plan was quickly hatched and we started off.

First we booked a jungle safari (truck that drives through on a track through the jungle while a guide talks about the rain forest around us), …

A 9 hour overnight bus saw us arrive in Foz do Iguazu bright and early at 7:30 am. We were there for one reason only.................to see the world famous Iguazu falls.

The Iguazu national park covers a large area, spreading across the border from Brazil and into Argentina. There are two towns that are located close by, Foz do Iguazu in …

Après les belles émotions des chutes d'Iguacu côté brésilien, une journée de repos s'impose. Même si la ville n'a rien d'intéressant, je trouve cette auberge de plus en plus agréable, d'autant que le gérant a du oublier que j'étais en tarif camping et ne vient toujours pas me voir pour me dire que je dois passer dans une chambre normale, je décide …

I think the first thing we thought when we stepped off the bus in Puerto Iguazu was "Yes! I get to wear those shorts I've been carrying around for so long and have yet to use!"
Our hostel was fairly easy to find and GORGEOUS! It had a beautiful backyard garden with hammocks, exotic flowers, an outdoor kitchen (where we cooked lots of the very …

Sunday 11^th Dec


Today we have opted for the easy option of taking a tour from our hostel in Brazil across border to our hostel in Argentina via the Iguazu Falls on the Argentinean side. It is costing BR$100 each to do this, but it includes the entry to the falls and a guided tour blah blah so seems like a good plan. We get …

... I came in sight of the Devil's Throat - where the river shoots over a horseshoe cliff.  Iguazu falls is the widest waterfall system in the world, stretching 1.7 miles and separates Brazil from Argentina.  The falls ...

Hola Amigos, Just finished our 6th flight, which took us to Iguazu Falls, on the Argentinian/Brazilian border.  Niagara Falls seems like a drip in comparison.  Very impressive, well worth the visit.  Lots of water falls, the mist from ...

The Iguazu Falls!  AWESOME!!  After a 16 hour bus journey (where they served wine AND whisky AND very acceptable, tasty food... Now, that is MY kind of bus!  Via Bariloche - my bus company of choice!), I arrived in a slightly overcast and ...

After this first night in the bus, we explored a little Iguazu before to go in the park where there are the falls. You take a collectivos for 4 pesos in the town and 30 min latter you arrive to the park. We enter in the park in the afternoon which gave ...

... and the toco toucan (the guiness bird), being so close to these birds is surreal but very enjoyable. Tommorow we explore Iguazu falls from the argentinian side. Apparantely the falls are even more beautiful on this side, and frankly I can´t ...

... place to go on the Easter weekend in Argentina. We only realized the crowds were exceptional on Easter Sunday when we revisited Iguazu National Park on the following day. Holy smokes! What a difference!  On the Sunday we took the small park train ...

Hola Amigos, Well our second instalment centres on our experience at Iguazu Falls. After 4 great days in BA we flew up to Iguazu - about an hour and a half - would have been less but for the 20 minutes the pilot spent circling the falls so we could ...
