Absolutely impressive Iguazu Falls

I was a little nervous that Iguazu Falls wouldn’t live up to the hype. It’s not the most convenient place to get to and so many travel blogs and photoshopped pictures these days make places look more amazing than they are in reality. But fortunately Iguazú was incredible as they say.

First we visited the Argentine side. With 7 miles of trails, there are plenty of viewpoints, most of which allow you to look down on the numerous falls (240 in total!). Seeing the massive falls called Devil’s Throat was amazing. Powerful gushes of water roaring down the cliff, how does it not run out of water eventually??

We were caught in a complete downpour which was kind of fun and refreshing, as it was still 95 degrees with 87% humidity. 🥵

Given the weather and all the spiders, this was the perfect amount of jungle for me. We saw a small toucan in the trees, a cayman floating in the water, and so many cute little coatis, which are like tame raccoons eager for tourists’ food. Not as cute with their claws climbing up your leg, begging for food!

Off to the Brazil side tomorrow.Read more
