Sunday, July 27, 2008

On Sunday we left Benito and got a private bus to Ponta Pora on the Brazil/Paraguay border. We stayed the night there and the next day we got our passports stamped out of Brazil and into Paraguay. Our destination was Asuncion, the capital city of Paraguay and apparantly the cheapest city in South America. It was also meant to be excellent for duty-free shopping.

As it turns out it was neither, the shops were expensive and the markets were crap!! There was not much else to do or see there except for Heroes Square and the shanty town located right beside the brand new government buildings.

On Wednesday we left Paraguay and got stamped back into Brazil. Our destination was Foz de Iguazu which was going to be our base for visiting the famous Iguazu Falls over the next two days
