Iguazú Falls – Argentinian Side

Posted on by

Our second day close to the Falls; we left the hotel in the morning and drove over to the ‘Three Frontiers’ memorial on the Brazilian side, where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil come closest – still separated by water though.

After about 20 minutes we continued to the border post between Argentina and Brazil, making our way into Argentina as day-tourists – – so no stamp in my passport

We arrived at the park on the Argentinian side about 30 minutes later; here we got a short introduction to the options available; most of the group opted for the “Grand Adventure”, which included an orientation walk, a trip through the jungle and a boat ride under the falls, which turned out to be the best shower we ever had (the most forceful in any case) … Also lunch has been planned in nicely – and Argentinian beef is really the best around 🙂

Iguazú – Brazilian Side

Posted on by

In the afternoon we got closer to Iguazú Falls, with the heliport being the first stop. Those ones, who were eager to spend 60 USD for a 10 minute heli ride got up into the air, me being one of them 🙂 It was my first ride in a helicopter – – and the views were amazing.

After the heli ride we went over to the bird park on the other side of the street – to see those birds in cages, we were about to see in nature in the Pantanal anyhow… – I personally would not go there again.

From the bird park we continued to the Cataratas do Iguaçu National Park, i.e. the Brazilian side of the waterfalls.
