Today I got up early and took the local bus to the park entrance, the bus terminal is literally 5 mins from the hostel which is very handy.
As soon as I got to the park I got on the train from the entrance to the first stop which is where all the trails start from. Everyone had to disembark in order to pick up another ticket and then get on the next train to the ‘devil’s throat’. It was quite a bit of waiting around but the Coatis and butterflies kept us amused. And at the station I met two other girls from my hostel – Rachel and Pauline from California – so we did this trek together. It was so peaceful walking up to the waterfalls- if you didn’t know you wouldn’t realise they were just round the corner.

The views were stunning and we had beautiful weather too. After taking way too many photos we headed back to the train and ended up back where all the trails started. I headed off to the upper trail first.

As it was so sunny there were quite a few rainbows in the spray from the waterfalls.
I then did the lower trail where you get a little bit wet but nowhere as near as wet as on the Brazilian side.

The treks were fairly easy but there were obviously quite a few people around. I walked back from the trails to the park entrance all g the green trail and saw an iguana.
It’s hard to compare the two sides of the falls – you get amazing views from both of them. In Argentina it’s more spread out so you do more walking which is quite nice as it gives you a chance to appreciate the fauna and flora. There’s more animals around in Argentina too – including marmosets and huge spiders (luckily not too close to the path).

I really loved the Falls and it’s another one of the seven wonders of the world that I’ve seen.
In the evening I just relaxed and played with the little kitten – I’ve named her Misty.
How many wonders will you see in the trip ?
