Foz de Iguazu June 20 - 21

We left Puerto Iguazu once we were up and caught the local bus to the Argentinean border, got our exit stamps and got back on the bus to go to the Brazilian border. The locals didn't need to get off this time so after the tourists got off the bus left, it didn't take long to get our entrance stamps and luckily another bus came along within a few minutes and we headed to Foz. Foz is once again another town that is a base for the falls, but it is much bigger than the Argentina side and much more of a locals town which unfortunately also meant less hostels. We managed to find somewhere near the bus station for a decent price and were lucky enough to have a twelve bed dorm between the two of us so no complaints there!

We headed to the falls once again and were happy to see that there were no queues to get in on the Brazil side. A bus then takes you right into the park to the pathway with the viewpoints. There are also several other tourist activities onsite, including boat rides, rappelling, helicopter rides all of which seemed pretty touristy.

The bus dropped us off at the start of the walkway which was only about 1.5km long. There were various viewpoints along the way where you could look over to the Argentinean side and get a panoramic view of the waterfalls. You couldn't feel the power of the falls from this side, but it was still amazing to see and also meant that you could see several of the waterfalls at once, rather than just a couple at a time. We were entertained by coatis along the way once again, luckily they weren't going for the humans this time, but diving in and out of bins for any scraps. Jumping amongst the trees were also a few little monkeys. We stopped at several viewpoints for pictures and just to stare with sheer amazement again, before heading to the big boy once again - The Devil's Throat. I still can't make up my mind as to which view is better of The Devils Throat. On the Argentinean side you are up close and personal, feeling the sheer intensity of the power of the water, but on the Brazilian side you get an amazing panoramic view but can also see many more of the falls that surround the devils throat. You also get to go out on a walkway which literally stops right at the edge of one of the big falls! Either way, both are amazing and almost indescribable. The photos really don't do it justice, so you just have to take my word for it with how great it is!

The following day was just spent catching up on emails and phone calls whilst waiting for our penultimate night bus to Campo Grande.
