Hey Guys,
Well it´s our last destination in Argentina Puerto Iguazu, home of Iguazu Nat´l Park and the Falls. After arriving in town fairly late we decided to go for dinner at a highly recommended BBQ restaurant, this place was awesome and provide me with a nice all you can eat bbq buffet, very good! The next morning we had big plans of getting our Brazilian Visa´s, since we failed miserably in Buenos Aires trying to get them, unfortunately we arrived half an hour late an had to wait till the next day to finally get the elusive Brazilian Visa, third time is the charm!
So after the visa fiasco we set off to see the falls, once we arrived in the park we headed straight to section of the falls know as the Devil´s Throat, you walk across the river on a series of boardwalks until you finally reach a large platform that puts you right on top of the falls. It was amazing! The falls are so loud and produce such a spray we got totally soaked in a matter of minutes. After trying to get some good pics we decided to check out some other sections
of the park.
The whole park is connected with walking paths and small trains that take to you to different view points of the falls. There is also a small ferry to take you to an island at the base of the falls. The Falls are awesome some are very large while others are merely a trickle but it is not the size or power really it´s the fact that everywhere you look there are waterfalls! Next to the Devil´s Throat we really enjoyed the Island which offered great views and picture oppourtunities. We ended up going back to the Devil´s Throat before leaving and got some good pics. This place is definetely worth the visit and in my opinon one of the better waterfall sites in the world!
The next day we got our visa and headed off for Brazil. We were going to visit the falls from the Brazilian side but we just didn´t have time since we were already scheduled for a night bus to Campo Grande. Enjoy the waterfall pics, and if anyone needs waterfall pics I think we have about 500 now so I can spare a few😉
