Puerto Iguazu, a little town bordering Brasil and home to one of the most spectacular visions we have come across up to now on our trip, Iguazu Falls. The park itself wasn't very big and nowhere near as difficult to navigate as we first thought. So we headed straight to our 100 pesos boat ride that takes you under the longest and most impressive fall. As we walked along the lower trail we were mesmorised by the number of falls that were actually in the park, ...

We stayed in the beautiful Izhcayluma Hostel up on the hill side, looking over the whole of Vilcabamba. It was so tranquil and just amazing, literally you could sit and stare at the scenery for hours, over breakfast, playing scrabble or savouring the culinary delights that made there way from the Izcayluma kitchen (the chincken stroganoff was AMAZIN...
