IGUACU FALLS – SPECTACULAR WATERFALLS

13. May – 16. May 2011

The first day in Foz do Iguacu was a relaxing non-touristy day. We walked through town (which had not much to offer), hang out in the sun and didn't do much else. The next morning I discovered that my SLR camera was missing. I'm still not totally sure how it disappeared but it most likely got stolen in the hostel. Well, maybe that's the punishment for complaining about carrying the big and heavy camera all the time. What's worse is that my compact camera doesn't work properly either.
Anyways, we got to the waterfalls fairly early in the day and there were not too many people (thanks to the low season). We walked along the trail were we had nice views of the waterfalls. They were very impressive. A lot of water. Including the Brazilian and Argentinian side there are over 250 waterfalls most about 60 m high.
Day two at the waterfalls was time to explore the Argentinian side of Foz do Iguacu. Even better views here. Almost all day we walked along several trails with amazing views. And as the day went on it got better and better. And even with only one camera we took lots and lots of pictures.
It is fascinating that at the end of two days looking at waterfalls, waterfalls and more waterfalls it was still amazing and we were nevertheless impressed by every different view and new waterfall.
