Iguazu Falls!

















We are now Puerto Iguazu in Argentina. We arrived last night, but that was after hanging out with our friends in Cuidad del Este for most of the day. We were treated to an amazing lunch at a 5 star hotel, best meal of the trip so far. Then we drove to the 3 points, where Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil meet, it is a confluence where the Rio Iguazu meets the Rio Parana . We took the ferry over to the nice tourist town Puerto Iguazu in Argentina. We are sad to leave Paraguay because we have been treated so well, the people are so kind and generous there.

We are staying in nice hotel in the town. After checking in we took a walk to an overlook of the 3 points, its beautiful. For dinner we went to a nice restaurant that had some awesome live music. They described it as mountain music, but it was pretty much one guy that played guitar and the flute, with a base player. Some other people would join in playing a drum. A couple would do some traditional dances also, and I think I fell in love with the girl dancer, beautiful and a great dancer. It was the most fun night of the trip.

We got up this morning and ate some breakfast then went to the Iguazu Falls National Park. We had our own personal tour guide. There are many falls and they are incredible. We take a few different walks to different vantage points of the falls, then we take a boat ride that goes under one of the falls, we get soaked. Then we eat a late lunch and go back to the hotel for a siesta. We leave for El Dorado in the morning.
