Iguazu falls – the Argentinian side

Again pronounced without the G, meaning “water big”.

A very early wake up and internal flight, landing on the Argentinian side. A cute little airport like Manston with the bags ready before us.

The town is across the three countries of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, each with their own version and spelling. This is the only place in the world with a town in three countries. Paraguay having two spellings of the name as they speak both Guarani and Spanish. Our hotel is in the Argentinian part of town and borders on to a community of indigenous Guarani people.

The Iguazu river is half in Argentina and half in Brazil and follows the border for some distance.

The tour took us to see all angles of the falls from the Argentinian side.

Wow. Let the photos do the talking.

Everyone we spoke to said we need to do the boat ride. There were three options on it. We definitely did the best and wettest. After a fab rapids ride and a chilled watch from below, we went under!

Our first shower was under this! And again and again!

The boat ride from Brazil does not let you in as close on this Argentinian side.

And this was the other one we went under. So glad they had someone filming it all for us!

The flora and fauna has been amazing too, with the highlight being a few toucans.

Here is the commemoration of the chap that found the falls and a cute lizard chilling on top!

The capuchin monkeys are so naughty, it’s the people eating lunch that need to be in the cage!

There were also many vultures swooping around. They also have cougars, pumas, and ocelots. Thankfully, not too many mosquitoes as there are enough predators among fish birds and insects.

Our naturalist guide was very impressed with the seek app and had to install herself!

Finally back to the room to discover toucans are clearly a thing here.

The evening was free, so we had to visit the three frontiers point, from where you can see both Brazil and Paraguay.

And another fab steak of course!

Back to the hotel and ended up 2 hours chatting with Anthony and Rachelle from the cruise. A fab pair of people (not couple) who booked the trip not knowing each other and have spent an amazing few weeks together!
