Argentinian side to Iguazu falls
I would recommend staying at Marcopolo Hostel in Peurto Iguazu because its opposite the bus station so it has quick and easy access to the national park and it had good breakfast!
I arrived at the park early and the view was breathtaking, the photos don't do it justice! The Argentinian side takes about 5 hours to walk around all the walkways. You are able to see the falls up close from both the top and the bottom.
I took an additional boat trip but I didn't realise that you get completely drenched so I didn't have any spare clothes and my waterproof jacket didn't live up to its name!
Beware of the Badger type animals roaming around freely, they are nasty creatures and I ended up getting chased by 3!!
Who said crossing the boarder was easy!.. The crossing was a nightmare. However I did meet a lovely South African guy who ended up waiting with me at the Brazilian boarder for 1.5hrs because the bus driver had driven off and I needed to get an entry stamp. Planning on arriving into brazil in daylight didn't happen so Bret made sure I got back to my hostel alright.
I stayed at Iguazu Geust House on the Brazilian side, the staff were really helpful and friendly and would definitely recommend staying there.
I was unable to find an ATM to get some Brazilian Reals out so I got ripped off at dinner because they doubled the price for paying in Pasos.
Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls
Was different to the Argentinian side if the falls but equally as incredible and if not more impressive because you get to see the complete falls from a distance.
The Brazilian side of the falls only takes a couple of hours so I had time to visit the Bird park opposite the national park entrance. Where you were able to see toucans, macaws and other Brazilian birds.
See you in Rio!
