Ah I love it here.
Arrived here yesterday. Took a little while to get through Border control but I now have a shiny Argentinian stamp in my passport. I wanted a whole day to see Iguazu falls so for the afternoon I went on a walk to see the three frontiers (point where you can see Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil all seperated by a river). I then went to La Aripuca whice is a set of native buildings. The main attraction is a massive version of an Aripuca, which is a trap the natives used to catch small animals. It took 9 years to find the trees and 1 year to build. I also tried playing an Native harp.
Today I ventured out to the falls, which has now replaced Sugar Loaf as Best Thing So Far. Absolutely stunning from the Argentinian side. Honestly takes your breath away. Will see Brazilian side tomorrow.
I decided to splash out and paid for a speedboat trip near the end of the tour of the park. As I left he said "have a nice shower!". He wasn´t kidding. We went RIGHT UNDER the falls and I got soaking wet. We then went for a trip down the rapids which was incredible. It was such an adrenalin rush. As it was such a gorgeous day I dried off pretty quick. Apart from the falls I saw some amazing butterflies and small creatures, pictures up soon.
Took about 200 photos. As soon as I get on a computer not still stuck in the 90s I will upload them. Sorry I don´t have much time, I need to go grab some food.
