Foz do Iguaçu / Cataratas del Iguazú





Here are some photos from the Iguazú Falls. One side is in Brazil and the other in Argentina.
They are pretty impressive.
You can find out more information here:

There are some mad Racoon type animals running around as well and they chase the tourists.



We did a jeep safari and a water tour where you got soaked under the falls:



We were all fed up with camping so we upgraded to a hotel with smimming pool and all ordered Pizza for dinner.

There was also a bird park next to the falls which we visited which were pretty good. Check out the Toucan:



From Brazil we were supposed to go to Paraguay then back to the falls in Argentina en route however the border was closed. We found out there was a few reasons for this - a massive drugs bust and the government taking revenge on the taxi and bus drivers who´d held a protest blocking the border the day before.

Border crossings have been random and you can never predict how long it´s going to take and what proceedure to follow.

Any way due to the problems at the border we had to re-route to get to Paraguay but we eventually made it.
