14th - 17th September - Iguazu / Iguacu Falls, Argentina & Brazil
After a hideous long journey lasting over 24 hours on several freezing buses we arrived chilly and tired in Puerto de Iguazu in Argentina. It was thrilling to see the thick rain clouds covering the small town and steam coming from our mouths - had we in fact come on holiday by mistake!?
We checked out a local hostel but it seemed rather chilly so the hotel down the road offering heating, sauna and all you can eat breakfast and dinner buffet was just too tempting!
Basically it rained on us pretty much non-stop but it was still spectacular seeing the falls set in beautiful rainforest. In fact, despite getting very wet and cold with the rain and spray it may have even been more spectacular than normal with so much extra water - so maybe we were lucky to not have the bright blue skies that people had the week before!!??
Lots of lovely walking and great food!
