A brief one night stopover in Buenos Aires and we hopped back on the plane to fly to the north of Argentina to see the Iguazu falls. We got to the small town of Puerto Iguazu on the Argentinian side where it was hot and humid. The following morning we got up early to get to the falls as they open and make the most of our time there before flying back to Buenos Aires that evening.
We started off our visit by going straight to the largest of the falls, the Garganta del Diablo (the Devil's Throat). A train ride and a walk through the beautiful tropical forest, over the river at the top of the falls, and we slowly start to feel the spray of the falls on our faces as we get closer. The viewing point for the falls was amazing and with every gust of wind you get quite soaked.
We then took a long walk around the lower route of the falls, which took us to the launch point for our nautical adventure. This consisted of putting most of our clothes in a water proof bag, wearing bright orange life vests, taking a seat on the boat and then getting super soaked by the falls as we were rode right under them! What a blast! Luckily it was a hot day so we managed to dry off in the sun...eventually.
Overall, a fun day out seeing some of the most magnificent falls in the world!
