Lots of waterfalls
... but it only seems to go twice a day for some reason...still after a bit of searching I found that buses 101 and 102 from the TTU go straight there. Its the last stop so easy to find, can't go wrong. Apart from it went wrong - I got my sums a bit cock-eyed and turned up 1.5 hours early. Oh well, had lunch in the cafe (not too expensive for a tourist place, R$7 for a salgado and a coke) and had a long mooch around the gift shop. Eventually my time ticked around and after ...
Just a little waterfall
... and Brazil and can be viewed from both sides. We spent the day on the Argentinian side. Guarani legend says that Iquazu Falls originated when a jealous forest god, enraged by a warrior escaping downriver by canoe with a young girl, caused the riverbed to collapse in front of the lovers, producing precipitous falls over which the girl fell and the base turned to rock.

Well, the birds were amazing, such beautiful colours. Some were in secure enclosures and in other areas the path lead through double doors to allow you to walk ...
Brazilian Iguazu
So today we leave at around 9am to head for the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls. The Falls are huge. I´m talking seriously huge. So to get the best experience you visit both sides.

Beautiful sunshine today. Suncreamed up and travelled by bus first of all to ...
