Foz de Iguacu Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Crossing over to Brazil was no easy task. We (me and some French students) had to get out of the bus at the Argentinian border office, and be stamped out. Then, we had to wait for another bus to get us to the Brazilian border office, where we had to be stamped in. We had to take another bus that finally took us to Foz De Iguacu.

Ok, so I knew that they didn't speak Spanish in Brazil and I was not naive enough to think that Portuguese was close enough that I would be able to understand it. Nevertheless, I thought myself pretty savvy with the old pantomime/hand gesture/pointing method of communicating in a foreign language. And maybe I would get lucky and find someone tha...

On the Thursday woke up and didn´t know what time it was. Rob forgot to turn the alarm clock on and the time on the ipod was wrong. We thought it was half 7, but was only half 6 thankfully. Plenty of time to get to the station.

Onto the bus, and we weren´t sure what to expect as a guy at the hostel had not given the bus company we were us...

After a 20 hour ish bus journey from Sao Paulo we arrived in Foz de Iguazu. The photos should pretty much speak for themselves. There are 275 waterfalls altogether, they span over 3km wide and 80m high so impressive is not the word! It took two full days to visit both sides of the falls (hence the number of photos!). Each waterfall/view was more...

After being very impressed with the Iguazu falls from the Argentine side, it was time to cross over the border into Brazil, and check out the falls from over there. The grapevine says that you get a lot closer to the falls on the Argentine side, but the views are more spectacular from the Brazilian side. It's time to find out... The border cross...

One of the highlights of our trip, Iguazu Falls, lived up to all our expectations! Over 200 hundred separate waterfalls plunging over high cliffs, left us in awe. Managed to view from Brazil (Foz du Iguacu) and Argentina (Puerto Iguazu) - albeit with a little bit of dilema crossing the border (border crossings always take me back to the James Bo...

At last I have got down to starting the diary of my trip to South America - another great adventure, I hope! Just to give you a brief synopsis of my plan - it all began because I have a number of places on my agenda that I want to see before I leave this world for good. South America is one of those items on the agenda so I am tackling it in two...

Arrived at our hostel in Foz se Iguazu...a mini resort that feels like we're actually in Africa! Went to see the Brazilian side of the falls in the afternoon...absolutely amazing! They're so big and powerful it's unreal. Got so close to them that we got soaked as well. Really beautiful.

After an uncomfortable (we tried a new company and their seats were too small) bus journey we arrived in Puerto Iguazu, home of the Iguazu Falls, 2km of nature's finest waterfall art. It was raining torrentially, and we were treated to the most dramatic thunder and lightening display we've seen since we were in Australia. The thunder was unbelie...
