Hostel Sweet Puerto Iguazu

Después de 26 horas de viaje llegamos a Puerto Iguazú y nos encontramos con que todos los hostales baratos estaban llenos. Entonces, nos tocó quedarnos en un hostal que se llama Hostel Sweet Hostel de 30 pesos la noche! Un francés nos dió de comer, los dueños argentinos nos enseñaron a tomar mate y en la noche salimos a una "rumba" en un sitio cubano donde el bailarín principal era DJ y sólo tenía 4 canciones tropicales que puso toda la noche. A la mañana siguiente salimos a las cataratas. En...

Initially the bus trip promised to be the most comfortable to date, with super-wide seats, food and drink service, and the fact we had chosen to sit downstairs to avoid being thrown from side to side on the corners. There was even a glorious Chaco sunset to send us off. But soon enough we discovered our run of bad luck with buses was to continue. The air-conditioning was playing up so we were either sweating or freezing. They couldn't get the audio quite right on the movie, either too quiet w...

I'm just finishing up my last big trip in Argentina. I took another overnight bus from Cordoba to Puerto Iguazu to see the water falls! I don't know if the long bus rides have just really started to get to me or what but this last one seemed awful!! The food was slightly entertaining, however.

Got to Iguazu a little latr than promised. Got to the hostel and tried to check in but my room wasn´t gonna be ready for a couple of hours so i put the bag in storage and headed out to the falls. Got there just as the train was heading out to the man sites. As i changed train to go to the devil´s throat i bumped into alan from the milhouse,which was a bit random. As we walked along the catwalks to the main viewing point its really surprising how shallow and slow moving the water is as it appr...

Coming in the morning, visiting Brazilian side of the falls, having lunch in Cuidade del Este in Paraguay and at the end moving to Argentinian side to Puerto del Iguazu. Three countries in one day :). Planing see the Argentinian side of falls tomorrow.

Las Cataratas de Iguazu are absolutely incredible! We took an overnight bus for about 20 hours both ways and made it a quick weekened trip. I went with 8 other girls, and the trip ended up being a bit crazy but overall it was a lot of fun and definitely "vale la pena" as they say in Argentina (worth the pain!) to see the beautiful waterfalls!
