Iguazu Hostel Falls Inn Puerto Iguazu

So we arrived sweaty and smelly in Foz du Iguazu on the Brazillian side and needing to get a bus to the Argentian side where we were staying, we got on the bus but it went down all these dirt track roads so given previous experience we assumed we got on the wrong one and so an hour later we ended back at the bus station where we started. We got another bus only to find it took us right back where we'd just been - we just hadn't got off in the right place. Once we made it over the boarding hav...

Actually I'm not at Iguana falls, as far as i know Iguana falls doesn't exist. I'm at Iguazú Falls. Iguana is what Mom calls it because 1) she can't speak Spanish to save her life, and 2) probably because it sounds much more fun, I kind of like it. Anyway, if you've ever been to Niagara and were impressed (I have no intentions of going) you need to come here. You need to come here even if you haven't been to Niagara. Izguazu is made up of these beautiful cataracts on the Argentine, Brazilian,...

Iguazu falls are amazing. The sheer scale and volume of water and spectacular landscape are just awesome. We arrived on the saturday after a 23 hour bus journey from Salta which actually wasn`t too bad..H slept most of the way after knocking back a diazapan and I had the Kite Runner to finish - amazing book which kept me emgrossed, plus a few films. We bumped into Geriant, a welsh dude, we first met him in bolivia on salar trip and then again in san pedro, chile on the bus. Its kind of weird ...

After 28 hours sitting on a bus we finally arrived in Puerto Iguazu, the little town next to the falls. We had cama seats on the bus which took some of the sting out of the journey, it was a bit like business class on a plane with the seats almost going horizontally. However, the smell of the toilets after 20 hours soon brought us back down to earth!! We transferred by taxi to the hostel and were dead chuffed to see a pool, the nicest place we´ve stayed in yet. After throwing our bags down we...

I had two days in Puerto Iguazu. One day to see the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls, another to see the Brazilian side (Foz Iguacu). That was my mission. As usual, because I am a sensible and irritating person like that, I had pre-booked a room in a good hostel for my two nights in Puerto Iguazu but like all best laid plans when I arrived they had double booked so could only offer me a room in a 10 bed dorm in a nearby party hostel (NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!) where nobody would hear you scream or ...

I realized that I don´t have much time left in comparison to all the places I want to see, so I forced myself to leave Buenos Aires. I don´t really want to leave, but I could feel that the level of satisfaction I was getting as a function of the time staying BA was not as good as it was. Anyway, a guy from Sweden that I knew well from the first hostel decided to go to Iguazu at the same time so we were able to ride the bus together up to Iguazu. Plus, amazingly, he speaks better Castellano th...

3 days of rain in the rainforest: the only positive aspect was that there was much water in the Iguazu falls - the one and only attraction in that area, but it has to be said what an impressive one. I have never seen nor experienced this kind of power that nature and water shows at those falls. When I arrived at the airport of Puerto Iguazu I took a "collectivo" to the hostel called Hostel Inn which was definitely one of the nicest hostels you can think of. The dorm was a bungalow with a kitc...

Our Christmas presents to each other this year were two return flights to Puerto Iguazu to see the world famous waterfalls. True backpackers do this via a 22 hour bus journey, but we´re near the end of our trip and hey, we´re just plain tired of buses. So we set off on January 10 to the Aeroparque Jorge Newberry in Buenos Aires and took a 1.5 hour flight on Aerolineas Argentina to Puerto Iguazu. It was so hot and gorgeous outside when we arrived. It is so tropical compared to anywhere else we...

We made it into Argentina, got a bus from the border to the station. We met an Austrian and Norwegian girl at the border one of whom spoke Portugese and they started talking to some Brazilians on the bus who said they knew where I hostel was so happy days. But no not that straight forward, why would it be!! We got on the bus to bring us to our hostel in the bus station and we were sitting there yapping a way, mindless zombies at this stage, and next thing you know we are entering the park for...

From Rio we got an overnight bus to a town called Curitiba in Brazil. Its a pretty town but decided we hadn´t really much business there really and decided to get another night bus down to Iguazu Falls. As it was a Sunday, everything was pretty much closed except for a lovely trade fair in the old square. Finally we found an open internet cafe where I cleverly put my phone down next to me. Sometime while I was there, the Brazilian guy next to me took my phone without me even noticing! So if y...
