Iguassu Falls and Yacutinga Lodge

---

Ten of us took a wonderful trip to Iguassu Falls and the Argentina rain forest with a fascinating stay at Yacutinga Lodge. I arranged the trip with Adventure Life Vacations. We had wonderful guides on the trip who enhanced our visit with their history and nature knowledge of the area.

We stayed at the Sheraton Iguassu that was adjacent to the Argentina side of the falls, where most of the falls are located. The hotel was comfortable and had a couple of nice restaurants. We also enjoyed the outdoor patio that provided a view of the falls.

We spent one day hiking to all of the falls area, and then took the short boat ride across to Devil's Island, which allowed an up close view of the falls. We spent another day taking the jet boat under the falls (what a rush !!!) and going zip lining and rapelling in the nearby rainforest area.

Our adventure continued with an open top truck ride for 3 hours on muddy rained out roads, then slid through mud to get to the boat that sailed us up the river. From there it was a 2 mile walk in thick mud to reach the lodge. It was well worth it, to reach this unique oasis. We spent 3 days there taking nature hikes and relaxing in the treehouses. The food was great !! And the staff was wonderful. It rained on us almost the entire time, but we really enjoyed our stay, nonetheless. For future trips see www.tonitours.net
