Hi All I got out of Rio again safely and made my way down south to Foz De Iguazu. The waterfall here here is spectacular. Niagra fall has alot to live up to beat these sensational views. The Brazil side get a better panoramic view but on the Argentina side you get up close and wet!!! Patrick and me or me myself and I went crossing the border ear...

Samantha - Getting here was a mission, we travelled on 6 buses totalling 24 hours, stopping off at Sao Paulo for only an hour. We were going to stay the night in Sao Paulo, but had heard from other travellers that itīs not really worth it. We arrived here in the sweltering heat, but luckily found a hostel with a pool. In the evening we went to a...

Getting to Puerto Iguazu from Buenos Aires we took our first long-distant Argentinian bus. After Venezuela, buses here seem really expensive (no doubt because petrol is not dirt cheap here). Our overnight bus gave us dinner, but lets just say they could learn a thing or two from the airlines. Still, with everything provided including a bathroom,...

Took overnight bus from Curitiba to Foz de Iguazu together with Amy and Katy from London. Like many buses, this also was freezing. Down to around 15 degrees celcius, so almost a bit too cold. But I had my casmeer sweater at least. I think Amy was freezing much more than I did. Took a taxi from the bus station all the way to Hostel Inn at the Arg...

This place is wet. Not just the rain (the name rainforest may offer hints), but the waterfalls. Another clue in the name. And when people offering boat rides say that they go under the falls, they do go under. No faffing around going just by them. Oh no. Jeans not recommended wear. Unless you like spending the rest of the day wandering round in ...

It was sad to leave Buenos Aires this morning, our home for the last week but I take some great memories with me. We have arrived in Puerto Iguazu next to the famous Iguazu Falls. That is going to be our trip for tomorrow to take a day around the falls. We took the plane here as I said in a previous blog, because we do not have the luxury of eno...

Poor Niagra Iguazu falls was the next stop on my odyssey. It is the widest waterfall in the world and really quite spectacular. It's about a two hour flight from Rio, but it was prety much the focal point of my entire trip and everything else was planned around it. As a child I had watched One Life to Live (cheesy American soap opera) and one of...

Well, after getting the over night bus to Corrientes (and admittedly it did look a little dud out the bus window), Paul decided that we should push straight on with a back to back bus to Puerto Iguazu....so another bus....and almost 24 hours later we arrived.....a new level of food anger had set upon me.... However this was all resolved after we...

Holy ****! I'm not usually stuck for words but there is nothing that comes to mind to describe th pure majesty of the iguassu falls. I thought i'd be there for a couple of hours max but we spent a good 8 hours walking around the park, checking out all the falls and the wildlife and what not, and i wouldn't have wanted any less time. The boat tri...

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been going from place to place--very exciting but it makes for a lot of catchup! Iguazu falls was absolutely fantastic. This is one of the most incredible natural wonders I have ever seen. There was so much water! What a wonderful, natural border between three countries! I've never seen Niagra Falls, but perha...
