Today I woke up pretty good and early, around 7am, and went with Andrea towards her work in downtown Ciudad del Este, right by the bridge to Brasil.  From there, I took the mototaxi she recommended, which cost 10 reales (about 5 usd) to the bus station over in Foz de Iguazu, on the Brasilian side.  From there, I just had to take a bus for about 2 reales to the park itself.

The whole trip took about 30 or 40 minutes.  Then, then entrance cost was about 20 reales, or 10 usd.  At first I was a bit afraid, because they drop you off a bit far off from the falls, and I was like.. "is this it?" but then I found out that there was a nice, long path to walk on, and we approached the falls slowly but surely.  All the way to the amazing "Garganta del Diablo" ("Devil's throat"), where there's so much water falling, that you get sprayed really good by the mist coming out... really good.

I also met some new friends along the route, including a couple of Brazilian brothers, who had come with their parents, and gave me a ride back into town after the waterfalls.  Then, I walked around Foz de Iguazu (the town) with them for an hour or so, before catching a bus to the bridge (2.10 reales) and then walked across to Paraguay, which was fun.  Then I met up with Andrea near her work, where she gave me a ride back to her house.

And here I am.. Now I'm trying to decide what to do tomorrow..  Some say it's worth it to go to the Argentinian side as well, but I'm not super sure yet, so I'll make up my mind by tomorrow and then see what happens... seeya next time..

Christian lindas tus fotos Iguazu se parece bastante a las Cataratas del Niagara pero sin el comercialismo que se ve en Niagara. Me encanto tambien la foto de la Mariposa......Have fun & enjoy your trip!
