Av. Jorge Schimmelpfeng, 872 Foz de Iguacu, State of Parana, Brazil, 85851-110
After a short flight from Buenos Aires we were touching down at Iguassu Falls, one of the worlds greatest natural sights.
With over 275 separate waterfalls cascading over a 3km wide drop, The Lonely Planet described Iguassu as making Niagara Falls look like a ripple.
Spread over the border of both Argentina and Brazil, we decided to stay on the Brazilian side as it was much cheaper. We soon found out why.
As our tour guide drove us towards, and over the Brazilian bord...
We made it, just. So we are told that everyone has their stories to tell about getting around South America, brace yourself for here is our favourite so far. From our last entry you may recall that the prospect of a 23 hour bus journey wasnt fazing us, being the hardy sorts that we are. We are fools...big fools with feet the size of footballs who endured a 25 hour īride from hell` (the feet have now gone back to normal size, in case anyone was worried!). We are now wise to the ways of the īPl...

Foz de Iguacu, State of Parana, Brazil pamericas... although it does produce all the electricity requirements for Paraguay and 15-20% of Brazils... as interesting as these facts are the visit sounded like a complete bore to me so I hung around the National Park instead and found a place doing jungle bike and boat trips. Much more up my ally.<br><br>The bike ride was very pretty and fun, through the sub tropical forest on a dirt track that was mostly downhill, a little rough and a little boggy in places. No helmets... I ...
Foz de Iguacu, State of Parana, Brazil ness010... wet. This place is teeming with tourists from all over the world and one thing everyone has in common is they all throw their hands in the air and yell - I AM FREE as the water drenches them! it’s a very cool experience! <br><br>We spent the day and had dinner with some lovely girls from Switzerland - thanks for all your travel tips Simone and Ursula! We also had dinner both nights we were in Iguazu with a nice couple from ...
Iguazu Falls, Argentina goneforawhile... trips I would make throughout the night.<br><br>Thankfully Evan and Riki were still able to partake in the festivities, even going up and dancing with everyone!<br><br>The next day completely exhausted and still ill I asked Evan to get me an apple juice or gatorade - he returned with apple gatorade! My new favorite drink of choice down here and after being able to keep that down for about an hour we were on the bus headed for Buenos Aires:)
Puerto Iguazu, Argentina ewbarr... also made an appearance. The whole of Brazil has so many exotic creatures everywhere its got to be one of my personal highlights as it makes it such a unique experience. We both somehow miss Brazil already even though we´ve only been gone a day.<br><br>Today we walked 20 minutes down from our hostel by the riverside and could see Brazil on one side and Paraguay on the other. I can´t think of many other places you can see three countries in one go. They all looked roughly the ...
Foz de Iguacu, State of Parana, Brazil gypsyfeet... boat first takes you out into the water so that you can get a good view and take some nice pics. Then the guy says "cameras away!" and you quickly put anything you don't want to get wet into your bag. You then proceed out toward the falls and you would think you were right under them but not quite. The massive water spray from the falls dropping into the river literally takes your breath away! Anyone ever been on Thunder Canyon at Cedar Point??? This is kind of ...
Puerto Iguazu, Argentina nana31902... ladders trying to get the best pictures. Then we headed down to the middle sector which was awesome and gave us loads of views of hundreds, literally hundreds, of smaller falls. It also presented Elphick with a chance to FIND a better cag than the one he earlier bought, and gave Egg a chance to say hello to his little monkey cousins. It was at one of these stops that we saw the cute little ferrit things which ur tour guide told us transmit rabies...watch the triangle man run! <br><br ...
Foz de Iguacu, State of Parana, Brazil jrolfe... awe-inspiring and humbling. A giddy laughter overcame me and in that moment it was just the waterfall and me. The power of the water thundering down 260ft is simply awesome. The sound is absolutely terrifying. The water disappears into the thick white cloud of mist like the worst San Francisco fog. There is no bottom of the falls as far as the eye can tell. There was a former catwalk, 15ft higher than the current water level, that was previously destroyed in ...
