On to Brazil!

This morning we left our hotel for the airport and flew from Buenos Aires to Iguasu Falls, Argentina. It was about a 2 hour flight. Max has organized a great system for checking in and so far none of us have had to pay or had a problem.

When we got to Iguasu, the bus met us and drove us straight to the park where the waterfalls are. We got off and rode the little park train to the station where we got off to go to Devil's Point which is just incredible. So much money comes together at that part until it is misty and just gorgeous. We had a bright sunny day and it is very humid here so we all really felt the heat. But it was worth it. From that point, we took the train to the next area and went to the upper viewpoints and those views were also gorgeous. It is hard to describe the waterfalls they are so huge and so powerful.

Along the way, I saw a tucan up in a tree, we saw a family of Coati mundis foraging for food, Lots of species of birds and a bunch of guinne pigs that are wild. We saw a lizard and several other things that were unusual for us.

We had to enter Brazil after this and at one point we took our passports and presented ourselves to the agent who was checking us in. Then we boarded the bus and drove to our hotel nearby. We have a busy day tomorrow and it should be equally as beautiful as today was. Will post a photo or two then head to bed.
