Foz de Iguazu

Iguacu Falls! Well what can we say... truly breathtaking. The best of Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls combined.

Our visit to Iguacu Falls was a bit of a mad dash as we only had 24hrs in the place (most people spend at least 2-3 days). We arrived in Iguazu Falls at ~4pm, and went directly to the Brazilian side of the falls to get the overview perspective - we arrived at the park entrance at 4:58pm, and discovered that they stop selling entry tickets at 5pm... perfect timing. After having a geezer at the Brazilian side of the falls we retreated to our hostel for some well earned meat and beer.

The following morning we were up at the crack-of-dawn (well 8am anyway) to make sure we had time to fully see the Argentinean side of the falls before our flight to Buenos Aires at 4pm. The Argentinean side of the falls is where you really get amongst the waterfalls (they've developed a great network of tracks), and get quite wet.

We wont prattle on anymore as photos are much better than words at describing the falls...
