Iguassu Falls

We woke up after our overnight bus close to the border and crossed into Brazil. The bus was overall pretty comfortable and we managed to get some sleep during the journey from 5pm to 9am,

We boarded a bus which would take us on our day trip for the Brazilian side of the world’s longest waterfall - Iguassu Falls!

We jumped off the bus and walked along the opposite side of the falls, taking in the incredible panoramic view of the falls on the other side of the gorge! It was amazing seeing the falls from this view and we were so lucky with beautiful clear sunny weather! The boardwalk trail was quite nice with views everywhere. We also saw some of the local wildlife including birds such as a toucan and the local animals called coaties which look like little raccoons.

We made our way down to the viewpoint where we got a bit of spray from the falls and had a fantastic view over the lower tier of the falls. We also saw a speed boat from up high which we will be taking tomorrow from the Argentinian side.

We made our way back up to the main road for one last look of the falls before having a quick chicken and chips lunch in the cafeteria overlooking the falls.
We hopped back into the bus and checked into our hotel whilst some of the group did a helicopter ride over the falls and chilled by the pool of the hotel in the afternoon which was very nice!

We then went for a group dinner at a Brazilian Churrascaria (bbq restaurant) where we had an awesome pizza and Gab tried the National cocktail, Capriniha. A band was playing and there was a very lively atmosphere in the restaurant even though the town was very quiet. We then had some drinks and ice cream for the walk home before going to bed.Read more
