Rafain Palace Hotel Iguassu Falls Foz de Iguacu

... side of the border we headed for the falls. <br>We started out with a 30 minute tour of the rainforest with a local biologist expanding all about the rain forest and the plans and animals in it. Saw Toucans and lizards, no pumas or monkey though :-(<br><br>We took a speedboat and when I say speed boat it had 2 - 250 Mercury's on the back up stream to look at the main falls, man did that thing shift. After a 20 minute ride ...

... which was playing up a bit, suddenly stopped working - doesn`t turn on anymore. I had taken around 100 photos and a few short video clips, so not sure if these are lost (hoping there saved in the memory card and i can download through a memory card reader, not sure, but reason no phots posted now). Sort of put a downer on the last hour for me (ironically one of the best phototastic wise) which was a trip around the lower circuit and opportunity to get real ...

... 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 ...

<br>Retour aux chutes<br>Back to the falls<br><br>----------<br><br>La première chose que nous avons fait en quittant Asunción fut aller aux chutes d'Iguazu. C'était un retour pour moi, mais Daniela n'y était jamais allée et c'était quelque chose qu'elle voulait vraiment voir, alors nous l'avons choisi comme toute première destination. Le bus dans ce sens-là s'est relativement bien passé, et nous ne sommes pas arrivés trop tard à Ciudad del Este. En cours de ...

... of the very famous Iguazu waterfalls. I guess you expect what I am going to say now&#8230; the Iguazu waterfalls are the greatest natural thing I have never seen. Just amazing, the Iguazu river comes down in 275 ...

... sand dunes ...climbing up high before descending steeply and quickly "con emotion" ...its an adrenaline adventure but more than that , the landscapes and beaches are amazing and i would recommend anyone to do this....this distance cost 400 pesos but if there are 4 of you you can split the costs. we finally arrive in Natal early evening, windswept and salt encrusted!. The town is bustling but has a slightly seedy feel down by the beach., We stay at possibly the noisiest ...

... off at the bus station and walk 20 mins to a spot from where you can see Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, neatly divided by 2 rivers. <br><br>Maybe that doesn't sound very interesting, but it was a really cool little place. <br><br>..or ...

... up hill the whole way. So all in all exhausting last day but the bike riding was fun. When I got back I did some wandering and shopping. Everyone was so nice to me there. It was funny cause everyone I saw was like, oh you went biking with Alexander today? (Everyone knows everyones business before its even happened) And a few people I met were like, your Jenny from Canada, right? I was sad to leave cause in just 6 days I knew alot of really great people.

Last night I drove up to the lookout point with my family to watch the sunset. I had to keep myself from laughing as we 4x4´d our way up in their brandnew little car, I think we dropped the engine a couple of times, eeps. Then we drove into Alto Paraiso for supper, which they wouldn´t let me pay for. Cool little outdoor restaurant with live music. I thought dad was going to kill us with his crazy driving but after a few beer I decided it wasn´t that bad of an idea to ...

Today was one of those days when I thought to myself, ´life really doesn´t get any better than this`, as I was eating fresh goiaba while swimming under a waterfall (yes at the same time). Except of course if I had some family or friends here. But I´ve adopted a new family. I have two younger brothers, 18 and 19, and very sweet parents who seem very much in love. They´re from Brasilia and they´re staying at the same pousada. You have to visit the national ...
