Iguazu - day 1

Our trip around Brazil is coming to the end. We are sleeping till Saturday in Foz do Iguazu (the city on the Brazilian side of the waterfalls) before continuing our journey to the next country. From sightseeing point of view is today our last day in Brazil. We want in next 2 days explore the Iguazu waterfalls - largest waterfall system of the world. Waterfalls are right on the border between Brazil and Argentina with Brazil covering only about 20% of the falls. After breakfast, laundry and food shopping we were ready to start sightseeing. From the city it takes around 30 minutes to get to the visitor center of the waterfalls. We bought our tickets and departed with 11:00 bus to the waterfalls. The waterfalls are located 13km from the visitor center and there are shuttle buses included in the ticket price (+- 15€ per person). Once you get out of the bus there is a 1.4km long walk along different viewpoints. The views are since the beginning amazing but the views are getting every time better and you get every time much closer 👌🏼🇧🇷 the highlight is the walk on Devil’s throat. This part was quite packed and we got wet but it was incredible and totally worth it 😍. After some rest in visitor center we drove by bus back. As it was still early and we had some energy left we decided to visit the bird park right across the street. It’s actually more rescue center then the standard zoo and we really liked it. The walk takes around 1,5 hour and can be really well combined with the falls. We returned to our hotel happy and tired and decided to rest a bit for the rest of the day. It’s 36 degrees here right now and we are definitely not used to that 🥵Lue lisää
