Iguazu

Here are we at the last stage of our trip to Argentina. After Patagonia it was time to hit the Iguazu waterfalls. The change in the weather was spectacular and it was super hot and humid in the jungle. They have a very specific rain forest there because of the crossing of rio Iguazu and rio Parana (the border between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil - you see it from Puerto Iguazu and it's cool). Unfortunately, the human kind is not well known for its intelligence and only maybe 5 to 10 % of the original surface of the rain forest is left (and of course it's in the national parks). We went to both the Argentinian and the Brazilian sides of the waterfalls and it was amazing. There's a lot more to do and see in the Argentinian side (you can also take a shower under a waterfall if you take a boat ride!) because you are under and in the waterfalls. On the other hand, from Brazil there is a very nice panoramic view but you have to pay extra if you want to do something else besides the short tour. We also went to Ciudad del Este in Paraguay to see the free zone and it was a strange experience, maybe because we don't like to get bothered by people every 2 meters trying aggressively to sell us something... We also saw Itaupu, one of the biggest dams in the world and it was spectacular. Enough talk, more pics!
