Argentina 2009

Wednesday2ndDecember

Here we are again at the Iguazu Falls but this time we have crossed the Brazilian border.

The Argentine side is facing us.

If the majority of the falls are on the Argentine side, the view offered by the Brazilian side has nothing to envy its neighboring country.

A blue butterfly, a brown stick insect, an orange spider...

Incredible! Brazilian coatis are identical to Argentine coatis!

Round of Andean Condors (Vultur gryphus).

One cannot say that Iguazu insects go unnoticed...

The Salto Floriano in all its splendor!

At the bottom of the canyon, the Garganta del Diablo where we were perched yesterday

Through the mist, tourists at the very top of the Devil's Throat...

The green proboscis of this butterfly won't deceive Eric!

Return by bus to the park parking lot. What we don't know is that Brazilian buses are amphibious and we are under the Iguazu waterfalls!!!  ....... HAAA NO!!! It's pouring rain and water is seeping into our bus!!!  

Once our car recovered, we go eat in Foz Do Iguazu, the nearest Brazilian city

Then we go see the Brazilian landmark of the "hito tres fronteras". The weather is totally rotten, impossible to see the other landmarks!

Return to Iguazu before departure. Direction the bus station!

For the second time we are going to take a "cama" (sleeper) bus to join the capital Buenos Aires located 1300 kilometers from here! About 15 hours of road during the night.
