Bourbon Iguasu Golf Club And R Foz de Iguacu

... my eyes on it, I was absolutely freaking terrified. Then I became almost hypnotized by it. Watching it for more than a minute made me cross-eyed. Apparently every year there are a number of suicides near the Devil. The calling could be just too powerful, I expect, for those with the need.. <br><br>Upon seeing the Devil, Ealanor Roosevelt, of stronger mind than me, said simply, "Poor Niagara."<br><br>The folks at Iguazu ...

... which was absolutely amazing. Still stunning views and seemingly more dangerous walkways, and we also got to do a boat trip that went pretty much right underneath one of the biggest falls - needless to say we all got drenched - good job they gave us waterproof bags to put our cameras and passports in! We hiked around the falls all day, the views getting better and better as we ...

... this type of situation. Its been raining heaps lately and the falls are enormous - 10X their normal size. Everyone was screaming with glee as we got closer and closer to the wall of water and I just had this thought - ´the driver´s not really in control, the waters too big for him to be able to out-maneouver it, what if he´s miscalculated the current because of all the extra water and we flip... This close to the rapids, I think we´d get sucked into the rapids and not come ...

... free? We like free!<br><br>We checked in the next morning in time for the free breakfast before heading to the road to flag down the 6 pesos yellow bus to the falls entrance.<br><br>Riki had a tip to hike through the jungle to a smaller waterfall in the morning which was beautiful, except for the millions of mosquitoes - no, i´m not exagerating! I had five defenses up and STILL had bites! I had long pants, long sleeves, two different bug ...

... 50, giving 10 change. I wanted 20, but settled on it. Still don`t know why he initially refused the 50 and demanded the 100, but i wasn`t for giving in. Went for a quick bite to eat as still full enough from lunch. Decided on a pizza but the place i went to wouldn`t budge on the menu, ie wouldn`t give me a certain pizza with onion added. I walked out. Into another place, too expensive so i walked out. Another, no menu given to me in 5 minutes, walked out. Another ...

So the day has finally arrived for us to head out to the falls and its raining OF COURSE! grr but it's not like we weren't going to go. We sucked it up a few people bought some ponchos a few already had them and we jumped on yet another minibus and headed off to what we hoped would be one of the most amazing things we'd ever see. <br><br>When we actually got to the park it was raining a little more than it had been when we left. I decided that it would probably be ...

... We also found that it was a lot hotter than expected at 30C, relegating all the extra layers bought in Buenos Aires to the bottom of the backpack.<br><br>We spent the evening wandering around the Brazilian town. As it is just over the border from Argentina, a lot of things are similar (such as the love of Mate) but yet you can really tell you are in Brazil. The food is slightly different, the fashion is a lot more extravagant and the town felt a lot more ...

... nois ´Toooou. Can´¨- Im not convinced, Egan probably is!) But the bird park was a silly amoun of money for entry so, with Gary sulking, we headed to Paraguay for a beer...why wouldnt we?<br><br>The bus took half an hour to get across the border and our passports werent even stamped! Paraguay is gringo capitalism at its best, cheap shades rip off boardies and food stalls everywhere, had we realised that the exchange rate was 8000 to 1 Im sure we wouldve bought more than a beer each ...

... Tio Querido in Puerto Iguazu. This place cooked up the best steak I have had in South America; better than the one we had in Mercado de Puerto in Montevideo! Accompanying us was Nuevotiempo, a three-man band of an old man singing and playing guitar and two younger guys on the keyboards. They were slightly heinous, but they loved what they were playing and were good at the tunes they played. They even had a lighted sign with their photos on it in front of ...

... side, the falls at the back &amp; right are on the Argie side.<br><br> <br><br>This photo shows the river which we took the speedboat from, with the main falls directly behind us and to the right.<br><br> <br><br>After a good old walk ...
