Iguazu Falls

After three nights at the Estancia in Uruguay, we drove a couple hours to the Argentine border, crossed it, then took a 14-hour bus ride back across northeast Argentina – then into Brazil – to visit Iguazu Falls.

The uploads for this post were more than a little glitchy due to not just bad, but weird wifi, so my chronology is a bit off.

This batch shows our first encounter with Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side. Having been a tourist destination for decades, they done a good job building walkways and viewpoints in spectacular spots. Nonetheless, working around the selfies can be tricky, just ask the coatis…!

This batch starts with our first visit on the Brazilian side, then includes dinner that night and part of the next day where we crossed to the Argentinian side and took a little train and a long walk to see the Devil’s Throat! We also saw some toucans and more coatis…!

A bit of the town of Iguazu Falls – Foz do Iguaçu – and more comida…

More of the Devil’s Throat, after which, we walked in another direction to take in more view points on the Argentinian side…

Many more view points on the Argentinian side. Lots of opportunities for a spectacular demise…?

Our last big experience of Iguazu Falls was to take a jet boat up the river and into the spray. Saw some monkeys long the way! Braved the cold & wet and, and the prospect of a damp iPhone, but enjoyed the wild ride and the upclose & personal experience of getting even more soaked. Note the pix of the 30 minute jungle ride to and from the boat dock…

This last batch shows the three corners at the confluence of two rivers – Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay – as well as another awesome dinner. Got a couple shots of the falls from the plane to Rio, as well as a glimpse of Sao Paulo where we had a connection…
