Iguazu

We made our first trip into the jungle, and we loved it. From the bus ride to the scenery, our trip to Iguazu Falls was a success.

The trip started with a 17 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu. It may sound like an ordeal, however, we went via "Cama Suite" which is the 1st class of coaches. Our ultra wide seats could fully recline into beds, we had individual TV's and we were even served champagne, whiskey and wine! I slept like a baby for most of the ride.

The Iguazu Falls at the national park we went to visit were awesome! I would recommend it to everyone. I only wish that I saw a jaguar... Maybe when we go to The Amazon. We did see some other wildlife, including the very cute, albeit cheeky, coatis. These little creatures were experts at stealing lunches from backpacks.

 

 

 

 

 

The waterfalls were the main show at the park. The sheer size of the falls was breathtaking, not to mention the roar of the water as it fell to the rocks below. On average over 100,000 cubic metres of water falls every minute - that's 40 Olympic swimming pools! We even got to take a boat ride under one of the falls... It was like a natural theme park ride!
