Iguazu Falls

I arrived at Foz do Iguacu early in the morning, almost 16 hours by bus from Sao Paulo it took. Later as I discovered in Argentina also, I can say that in Brazil (surely depends on the route) and Argentina you can easily prefer a bus ride: wide and soft with semi-bed and full-bed (not necessary) seat alternatives.

Lies between Argentina and Brazil, the inspiring Iguazu Falls has always been a destination where I wanted to see. The other accomodation place other than Foz do Iguacu is Puerto Iguazu in Argentina. Paraguay border is also close and a border town also exists, probably cheaper than the previous options; but since the national parks through which the Falls could be seen are only Argentina and Brazil, it would require more effort. I preferred Puerto Iguazu since it`s a smaller and cheaper town than Foz do Iguacu.

Anyway, I crossed the border right after my arrival and found a hostel in the town. Once again I had had a long travel, so decided to rest on the first day and plan my visit.

The general opinion is that both national parks should be visited: the former one is said to give you a better view and the latter one allows you to get closer and feel the thundering voice in your head. Unfortunately, I had only the chance to visit the Argentinian park since the last day before my bus trip to Buenos Aires I had to deal with a problem related to my bank. Still I had great time. Hopefully, I could have a chance to visit the Falls again.





Just want to give you the advice that arrive at the park as early as possible and prefer to take the Paseo Inferior track, which descends to the river (Get the chance to view the Falls when noone is around) and gives you also the opportunity to get under the Falls by a boat trip at the end (I did the boat trip: Great experience to see tons of water falling on you and to get drenched to the skin) before the Devil`s Throat route. The tourist groups come also early in the morning and visit Devil`s Throat at first.

Putting behind the Iguazu Falls behind; now it was the time to see my Argentinian friends I met in India and traveled with almost 2 months. Before I hadn`t said a proper "Good bye" to them, but it would definitely be a proper "Hi" this time.
