The Iguazu Falls
As promised, here is an impression of the famous Iguazu waterfalls, we visited a couple of days ago.
First we went a day to the Brasilian side of the Iquazu Falls. It was a bit of a hussle to get through customs (the bus doesn´t wait at the Brasilian border for you to get an entry stamp in your passport), but the views were certainly worth it:
We thought it couldn´t get any better. But when we visited the Argentinian side the next day, this side turned out to be even more spectacular. You get more of an overview of everything at the Brasilian side, but at the Argentinian side you get to walk the whole day along all sorts of big and smaller waterfalls. All the time you are accompanied by all sorts of animals, such as all sorts of colourfull butterflies, tropical birds, salamanders and some cute other animals we don´t know the name of.
After a day of strolling along the various waterfalls and animals, we REALLY thought it couldn´t get any better. But the final, main attraction, had yet to come, the Devil´s Throat waterfall (within a couple of weeks we will publish pictures of it on our Flickr-webpage).
We had already seen it from the Brazilian side, (as you can see above; it´s the big waterfall in the left of the picture), but from the Argentinian side you can get really close, so there it´s much more spectacular. It is huge and very impressive. You can´t even see the bottom of this fall as there is water moisture from the falling water everywhere, like it´s raining.
After seeing its main highlight we finally said goodbye to Argentina, after having travelled through it for 4 months. The last day we spent arranging our crossing to Paraguay. Not an easy task, as Paraguay is not much visited by travellers. But we worked things out, so here we are in Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay.
Love, Martine.
