I hadn't heard of Iguasu Falls before doing my research of South America. I'm a huge waterfalls fan but had no idea one of the largest falls in the world sits on the border of Argentina and Brazil. The trip from Buenos Aires to Iguasu is nearly 20 hours and I thought I would have build an argument so that I could convince Laura to take yet another long bus trip through Argentina. But after doing even your most basic google search you will find Iguasu to be incredibly impressive. She was game and so we booked a trip on our first day in BA.
It's rare to have a 100 percent positive response rate to nearly any location when talking to other travelers (well except for Machu Picchu and a few other biggies) but if you even mention Iguasu Falls to anyone who's been there will be an overwhelming response. They'll say ''Oh, yeah, you have to go there'' or the Irish will say ''It's grand! Incredible''. From now on I too will be that enthusiastic about these waterfalls. (Check out the double rainbow!)
We took a tour from start to finish in Iguasu (because of the death bus woes) and it was worth it. We took a boat tour that drove us almost into the falls. After a couple of days in Iguasu enjoying the heat we are back to BA! Now just one more 20 hour bus ride . . .
Maggie, this is breathtaking! So glad you went there. I don't know how you're managing those 20 hour bus rides - but clearly they're worth it. Can't wait to see where you are next!
ReplyDeleteOmg --- double rainbows are amazin'!! And I'd be so exhilarated to be peering over a mountain top into all that water!! Nice picsssss~
