Iguazu Falls 3.12.15

Woke up at the edge of a jungle, to the sound of all kinds of strange animals, we went for breakfast at the village hostel we had booked and walked on to the bus stop to go to the falls.

On the way to the stop we walked alongside a countryside road that had a few old-fashioned houses while listening to the noise of what sounded like the biggest grasshoppers on Earth. We arrived to the mainroad and got bus 120 which for 3'20 reales takes you to the airport and the national park.

The national park has an admission fee of 56'30 (about £10) and it's 13 km long.
The park has safaris and different kinds of activities but most have an additional price.

We got off at the trail that leads you straight to the waterfall and the first thing we noticed was a signpost: "Don't feed the quatis" with a picture of a bloody hand. Aggressive animals sounds like fun...

Anyways, going back to the trail it consists of 1.5 km of path of an easy to medium difficulty along the waterfalls. Iguazu falls is higher than Niagara falls and twice as wide. The path was crowded with people that, just like us, stopped every 2 meters to take pictures.

Reaching the end of the waterfalls we were guided to "the devil's throat" which sounds scary but it's actually the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life. The devil's throat is the path made on top of the water. If you go to the end of this path you will get wet, so wear your full body rain coat (which Oliver did not).

This is the end of the trail except for a few more places to take pictures right next to the falls. We couln't stop laughing of amusement and excitement altogether.

At the end of the trail we went for lunch and we saw quatis, a lizard, butterflies the size of an adult hand and we finally found out what the grasshoppers we talked about earlier looked like. (ewh! Gross)
