What´s Hot: water... lot´s of water, warm weather, speed boats, pastries, lunch in the national park with the best views of Iguassu, only 1 hour to get a Brazilian visa, hostel park iguassu, ´devil´s throat´,wild toucans and monkeys and other funny looking furry animals, holding a snake. What´s Not: mosquitos, bank atms not giving out money but still charging us, cats, rude arrogant argentinian man, tour groups, éco´ resort on the Brazilian side which is huge and bright pink and not so éco´. ...
Puerto Iguazu, Litoral, Argentina browna05
After the excitement of Brazil we started our journey in to Argentina, our first ground border crossing - what a strange experience! Normally you jump on a plane, ferry or train but it's bizarre to pay 50p, jump on a knackered old commuter bus and enter a new country! As soon as we went through immigration and across the river you could tell that you were somewhere different too, Argentina and Brazil feel like very different places. Foz Do Iguacu (Brazil) is a big prosperous town in its own r...
Puerto Iguazu, Litoral, Argentina caroline_little
Absolutely incredible. So much better than the brazillian side. So many more nooks and crannies where you can see different parts of the falls, and you are very close up as well so you can really feel the power of it all. It just seems like they have gone to much more effort than on the brazil side. It was 60 pesos (about 10 quid) to get into the Iguazu national park, which you must catch a bus to get to from the town (was about 5 pesos each I think).
Just the walk to the falls is amazing,...

... síííííínk ha, ha, ha.
The time at Yacutinga was just magic. The scenery, the wildlife and the excellent food made for a memory that will last for a very long time. I strongly suggest you should come there and experience what Mother Earth (still have) to offer. Oh and did I mention that I planted an orchid :)
The trip back to reality was a bit painful as I had two mosquito bites, the size of the bottom of a soda can on each cheek. And I talking about the lower ones mmmmmmmmmk
... 4 people in it. We needn’t have worried, though, as apparently that’s how they do steak here, not a bunch of pretention, just a lot of strong lighting and plenty of elbow room to get down to it. It turned out the steaks were fantastic, “expensive” meant around $6 and at about 9 pm the place started filling up faster than KFC on Mother’s Day.
We expected warmer weather here, now that we are finally back down to an altitude more suitable ...
... while I'm in them. I have no swimming costume, the yellow peril pair have been used on bike maintenance after complaints from some readers! I thought they matched Suzy very well.
When we are wet enough we are landed at the base of one of the falls and have to climb a rugged path to the top and more fantastic views.
I stop for a snack and Coatis appear, we have been warned not to feed them but hey are insistent little critters!
After walking ...
... we could only hear it roar and thunder from the Brazilian side, as it was shrouded by the 150 meter spray mist it throws up. It would have to wait until we got to the Argentinean side - a short wait, as the next morning our third South American country was entered with no difficulty (the world loves a New Zealand passport!).
Feeling suitably cocky with our mornings effort (something that included a number of buses, a border crossing and locating and walking to ...
... a ´farmers daughter´ I´m a massive fan of the bovine, and have had more than my fair share of great steak in my time. However, I was not prepared for the beauty that is... an Argentinian Steak. Oh. My. God!!! Worth the trip alone! (sorry to all my vegie friends!!!).
The hostel that we were staying in put on a BBQ, all the meat and wine you can eat and drink. Obviously Kaz, Loz and I were up for that, and got right in to the mix ...
... to describe the falls since they are so impressive, there are 275 different falls, some with an 80 metre drop, making up the complete fall. At the end of the walk you can go on a paved walk out into the middle of the river at about the 40 metre level to look over one fall and look along to the biggest fall of all, which is on the Argentine side. Once finished you get a glass lift back up to the ...

... the more the mouth of the falls opened up before us...
As we reached the viewing platform we had an instantly incredible view over the main body of water crashing over the falls, it reminded me a lot of getting close to the Niagara Falls, but this place makes Niagara look like a ...
