Iguazu with the cataratas

---

so i finally left Buenos aires... after the most amazing 5 weeks of my life. buenos aires is magical.. it is great.. definitly reccommend it. and i took a 17 hour bus ride to iguazu. it is on the border of brazil, paraguay and argentina. iguazu is located about 2 degrees south of the tropic of capicorn. it is a sub tropical rainforest, famous for the waterfalls. they ahve over 275 waterfalls formed by 120 million years. in the rainforest they also have many animals. i saw monkeys, toucans (couldnt get a good picture), alligator, snakes, reptiles. they have this one mammal.. i forgot the name.. that all it does is eat. and they are not afraid of people. i was having lunch and it came up to my table and tried to steal my food. you also get attacked by butterflies. they come and land all over you. it is awesome

the waterfalls are undescrbable. it is so amazing the power of nature. my friends and i signed up for the tourist boat that takes you down the river. you go really fast down rapids and see some of the land. then you come to the waterfalls. they show you and explain some stuff. you get to take pictures. then they take you under a tiny fall and really close to the big falls. i was so scared. the driver charged the biggest fall ever and pulled out just in time.

i also went to the brazillian side. the argentina side is better becuase they have more stuff and more paths to walk the jungle. brazil is solely for the view... but if you had to chose one go to argentina.
