These waterfalls are unbelievable – absolutely awe inspiring. The highest drop is 82m and they span across 2.7km with a total of 275 drops. Most of the waterfalls are actually on the Argentinian side of the river but that means you get a really good view of them from the Brazilian side.

Here’s a little collection of the many photos I took:

We had good weather and as it had been raining a lot lately the river and the falls were quite full.

This is Devil’s Throat which is the highest drop

The park and the trails are really well organised and signposted so it was easy to get around – obviously there are a lot of people so sometimes you have to wait to get a good photo. The initial walk is quite dry but as you walk out onto the platforms on the waterfalls you get soaked- but the views are amazing.

You also meet a lot of quite tame Coatis on the way – I got told off for stroking one.

To get to the Iguazu falls from our hostel wasn’t too bad either- even though we’re kind of out in the middle of nowhere. We got a free bus to the main road and then a bus from there to the park via the airport. Whilst waiting for the free bus I got stung by a wasp which wasn’t the best start to the day!

This is our hostel – basic but beautiful.

Tonight we went into the Foz do Iguazu which is a strange kind of town. We met an Israeli guy, Jacob, and his mother on the bus into town and they invited us for free drinks at their hotel. We were going to meet up with them for dinner but we couldn’t find the restaurant so we ended up having pizza and then going for a Caiprainha at Capitao Bar.

I can’t believe it’s Faye’s last night here, I’m really going to miss her. It’s so nice to have someone to share the experiences with.
