... me," I said, with an oh so sorry look on my face, we're from Canada, where body checking is legal." <br><br>The woman had no idea what I was saying, but stayed well back until we reached the Throat of the Devil.<br><br>Iguazu Falls, where the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet has two-hundred and seventy-five cascades. Barrel or no barrel, no one has ever gone over any of them and survived. The collective ...

... them, visit by moonlight even... Because I was there for a few days I explored as many ways as possible. I think most people only visit for a couple of days, I was there for 4 and really enjoyed it, the falls and the Brazilian town too so I was happy with the amount of time I was there.<br><br>I had a guide for 2 days, Fabio... and a Dutch girl and her parents joined on the first day so some company also. I didn´t realise that the first day presented the best opportunity ...

... local paths I board the train to the Devils Throat, "Garganta del Diablo". A lot more footpath bridges and a look into the abyss and across to Brazil.<br>The Isla San Martin is closed due to high river level, that must be why the falls are extra specially spectacular today.<br>Then it is a train ride back to the central station and out to the bus stop for a bus back to Puerto Iguazu. <br>What a great day!<br>Finish off with a little vino tinto and steak.

... me when we finished for the day and headed for lunch. After lunch, my luggage had been moved and i was told i was in a different van (new people). When we got to duty free shop, i was moved again to a differnt van. When we reached passport control, i was asked to get out again as my luggage had to be checked, changing vans (and people) again to get to the airport. It was being in an episode of the Prisoner, with so many different characters. I swear i saw one of ...

... Steve who has been on a similar journey the past 1.5 years. Is a god of camping, local knowledge, and ideas. Picked his brain for hours, and pointed us in some great direction. <br><br>The falls are amazing, one of the "new 7 wonders of the world" whatever that means. Not-so clever marketing i assume. <br><br>Spent the better part of 2 days in Iguazu National ...

... you´re able to stand over it with 260 degrees of the giant waterfall thundering down around you. It was the highlight of the whole Iguacu experience, and we can see why Lady Eleanor Roosevelt reportedly exclaimed "Poor Niagara!" upon seeing the monster. We haven`t seen Niagara, but it definitely gets our vote for one of the 7 natural wonders!<br> <br>Next stop Northern Argentina, with another 22 hour bus ride - the last for a while! Hope you`re all well.<br> <br>Love Renee and Eugene

... out of us to one of his mate we were on our way to the hostel.<br>We opted for a Hostel which offered us the trip to the Brasil side of the Falls that day then a trip to the Argentine side the next day, dropping us at there Hoste on the Argentine side where we could wait for the following evenings night bus to Buenos Ares.<br><br>We dropped our bags opff and headed to the falls which were magnificent. It was quite a short tour which gave us some panoramic views of the Falls and ...

... painlessly and shortly arrived at our great hostel in Puerto Iguazu. <br><br>Back to Empanadas, Vino, Parillas and Espanol<br>We were completely lost in Portugese-speaking Brasil. Portugese is a different-enough language than Spanish, Brasilians speak with a strong accent and they use enough unique expressions that we found it incredibly difficult to understand their Portugese. Thankfully, Brasilians seem to understand our Spanish, so one-way ...

... poverty you see in others. Rio was amazing, Sao Paulo dissapointing. Morro de Sao Paulo was great, Salvador de Bahia dangerous. It&#8217;s been a bit of everything, since the exhausting beginning in Chapada Diamantina ...

... these amazing falls.<br><br> <br><br>We climbed a load of steps up to reach the first of three trails which lead out to different viewpoints, each of which was very cool in their own way. <br><br> <br><br> <br><br>We couldn't resist ...
