Hotel Foz du Iguacu Foz de Iguacu

... should do sometime in their life. This is pure magic that Mother nature has to offer. <br><br> With a smile on my face and completely soaked by water I return to my hostel wondering what just happened to me. Whatever it is, it is good :)<br><br> Packing my bag tonight as I will head over to Paraguay tomorrow. <br>Besitos from Brazil<br><br>PS I have uploaded some pic´s from Yacutinga as well

... from when they were building the walkways - it was a drought and there wasn´t much water... I don´t know the answer to the death questions but I know many have jumped off at the Devils Throat.<br><br>My visit to the Brazilian side was also interesting. You got a much better sense of the scale and dimension of the falls because you could look over the river at them. The Brazilians also had a few walkways and you also get wet visiting on that side... and they had a few ...

... in total to the end of the path and back, but after a couple of hundred metres our jaws were dropping, and the only words to come out were wow, awesome, amazing, corr, would you look at that ... etc, etc. The camera came out and didn´t get put away until the last part where you get up close and personal with the falls, so much so we had to buy a plastic poncho to save us from getting soaked as we walked over the top of them to a platform where one can gaze down at the ...

... saw the full panaroma of the Iguacu falls; it was amazing.<br><br>The waterfalls are about five or six times wider than Niagara and are spread over a few levels. From small holes of erosion in the rocks, trees and bushes sprout and there is foliage absolutely everywhere. As we walked along the rainforest trail, the views became better and better as we got different perspectives of the falls. As the sun shone brighter and brighter different layers of ...

... the one road between there and Paraty and only cars could get through- not the local bus. Ozzy- the owner of Sea and Forest hostel offered to take us to the bus stop nearest the accident but he could only take two of us, and there were another group of 4 travellers doing the exact same trip as us!!! Disaster!! We discussed this for a long time the evening before and spent the night praying they would clear away the lorry!! .... They ...

... in town in the shape of a castle .. Its not so friendly, and we cant sleep until after 4 when the band stops playing in the adjacent bar. So we decide to sample some Foro ...a Brazilian dance which is a bit like lambada at the local club....its fun but after a while i feel a bit daunted by the casual pick up feeling of the place and return to the castle to watch a band play English rock music....we have just one hours sleep before out early morning departure to Salvador...

... br><br> <br><br>At one point we had a fantastic view of the speedboats going underneath the same falls that we did earlier, you can really see why we got so soaked!<br><br> <br><br>This was a much higher perspective of the view we had ...

... out at Pele´s pub, Pele was serving us drinks all night. Hes gotta be 80 years old this guy. He kept looking at me strangley, but I think he liked me. The paty started out with a group of brazilians playing guitar and other sounds, singing songs and by midnight the whole town had arrived. Everyone, including all the elders, were singing and dancing. The party ended at 2 though when the cops came and broke up the party. We were keeping people up. I met a ...

... Got to see some acai too (and eat some after). We stopped at a cool church which was an enclosed room of bamboo shoots with a straw roofed hut for people to sit under. On the way home we stopped at a small house off the side of the road where the family makes homemade jams and cachaca. I tried about 7 different kinds of cachaca, mmmm. Its Friday night and I don´t think too much is happening in the small town of Sao Jorge, so a few beer and I´m off to bed :)

... and rolling hills. It rains atleast once a day and its really hot, my bed feels wet when I sleep. The pousadas are all expensive (compáred to low season) but mine is really nice. Its $22cnd a night, includes an awesome breakfast and has a pool, a pool table and lots of cool little sitting areas. I have a room to myself to relax and a veranda with a hammock. This place is one of my favorites in Brazil, actually it might be my favorite, I love it here.
