Saio do hotel as 11 da manha para Foz do Iguacu. Tomo o caminho errado em Maringá e isso me custa uns 60 km. Algumas Eu tinha receio de nao encontrar hotel em Foz por causa do ano novo. Havia bastante lugar. Na entrada da cidade ficam alguns guias perto da pista distribuindo folhetos e um deles me indica um hotel bom a um preco adequado. A cidad...

Tom: On Monday we went for a walk along the waterfalls. The foot path was REALLY steep and when we got down there were like 50 steps going up, all of this took about half an hour. When we got to a stop there was this amazing veiw of the bottom of the rainbow and the water falls rushing down mile a minute. There was another stop about 300 metres...

Finally made it to the Brazilian border 4 buses later - 2 since we got to Foz and 2 overnighters! Pic of the 4 travellers at the border to follow! We look smashing!

What a magnificent sight the Iguaçu Falls are; really quite impossible to describe the sheer scale of the world´s largest waterfalls - I´ll let the pictures speak for themselves! Arrived in Foz slightly dishevelled after my first 15hr bus journey - there woud be plenty more of these to come. The town itself has little to recommend it apart from ...

Tues 22 April New language, currency and food! I have finally got tropical fruit juices and they really are amazingly good here. We walked to the bus station to find the bus for the National Park. A security guard decided to escort us to the office (not sure because we looked dodgy or stupid or because we walked through the wrong entrance...) we...

A strange title of an entry that seems a paradox...but a great description of the famous Iguazu Falls. We did not coin the term "elegant violence" ourselves but James remembered it from a rugby T-shirt he had seen and we both agreed that it applied to these waterfalls. The Iguazu Falls are 275 waterfalls that flow into the Rio Iguazu, with some ...

Today I was in two minds whether to go to the brazilian side of the falls. The irish girls had said you would be disappointed as you are not so up close and personal under the falls. I decided to get my ass out of bed and find the bus. After a couple of hours I arrived (mainly waiting for the bus). R$21 entry fee compared to $40 peso. I was expe...

After seeing both sides of the falls now, I have to admit that the Argentinian side has more to offer. The overall view you get from the Brasillian side is probably the best, but the setup, the layout of the Argentina side gives you a lot more ways to experience the falls. We spent two hours on the Brazil side and almost 6 hours wandering around...
