Well, we´ve been to Iguazu Falls, both the Brazilian and the Argentinian side. They are truly breathtaking. Our trip to the Brazilian side of the falls began with me doing some white water rafting. At the cash kiosk there was a family of pretty tame coatis (the wee racoon things). Although they were still very cute, it was kind of a let down to ...

Don´t believe the bus companies... If they say the trip is 22 hours, it´s going to be 25 and if they say they have toilets and air conditioning, they´re not going to be functional. Arrived at the very reasonably priced hotel with great ease after the longest bus journey in the history of the world and after washing off the bus skank, we took a w...

Up 815 as had to do breakfast and pack up the tent for leaving 1010. It was overcast and had rained so it was finally blessedly cool. The drive day passed pretty easily, with my plowing through War and Peace and Chris lending me his PSP so I got to kill in Medal of Honour!! A taste of home that was! We stopped at this store by the side of the ro...

Up 715 for 730 breakfast and 830 leaving. Felt fuzzy and dislocated for some reason and was wearing a tshirt so was not at peak! After a money stop in town we headed 20km away to the Iguazu Fall national park. Just outside the park was a helicopter landing pad and 23 of us went up in copters iin groups of 4. It was my first ride in a copter, ver...

After four nights in bustling Rio this was a welcome break. Foz de Iguassu was unsuprisingly much quieter, and strangely enough at times the landscape looked a little like England. There was a slight air of The Deliverance though! The waterfalls were amazing. The Brazilian side had amazing panoramic views and had the Devils Throat walkway which ...

Saturday 6th October - Sunday 7th October Crossed the border to Brazil to spend a night in Foz Do Iguazu to visit the Brazillian side of the park. Had heard this side was not so spectacular, but we thought it was great! Less busy and a beautiful panaramic view of all the falls. Also spent a couple of hours in a fantastic bird park just outside t...

Foz de Iguaçu, BR. Iguassu Falls, Tres Fronteras, and Itaipu Dam are the highlights. Staying with Nilso and Mariam, Parents of Taty, and awesome hosts! I am super blessed.

The overnight bus to Iguazu Falls was long but reasonably comfortable, so we managed to get a bit of sleep. It left us all pretty sleep for the day! We arrived early in the morning & luckily our hotel rooms were ready, so everyone showered before we headed out for the day. Our first stop was a bird park, which had the most amazing birds of t...
