First Stop

We arrived in Puerto Iguazu two days after leaving Ushuaia we stayed a night in Rio Grande as we were flying from there to Buenos Aires. The weather in Iguazu was great and much welcomed after the freezing nights in Ushuaia. Puerto Iguazu shares borders with Brazil and Paraguay,we stood on the banks of the Rio Parana and we could see all three countries. We met some fellow Paddies and needless to say had a couple of late nights!. After copious amounts of alcohol we deceided that we should buy a camper van and do a road trip together (6 of us!) but the next day they left for Paraguay (drink talk!!).
We went to Parque Nacional Iguazu the only reason for our visit to Puerto Iguazu (to see the famous Iguazu falls).The falls are based in this huge park which is like a sub tropical rain forest. The falls are absolutly breathtaking the best part is Garganta del Diablo or The Devils Throat.I think we can safely say that we got as close as possible we took a boat ride around it and went underneath it with a crazy driver, we got soaked the noise of the water is unreal and the speed at which it falls actually hurts your skin.We had to walk around for the rest of the day dripping wet. We took a really old train across the park which brings you to a point where you cross lots of little walkways and then you get the best views of all the falls.The park itself has loads of lovely wildlife the prettiest butterflies just land on you in amazing colours.We also saw a Toucan (just like the Guinness ad!).
I spent a day on The Brazalian side of the falls while Mal opted to go fishing and get ravaged by a dog!.
Foz Do Iguacu (as the Brazalians call it)gives you great views of both sides of the falls (both brazil and Argentina)and more panaromic views but you dont get as close as you do on the Argentinan side. Apart from the falls there isnt much else to see in Iguazu so we only stayed a couple of days.
