Puerto Iguazu, Argentina
In order to wrap up my mom’s trip to Argentina, we decided to visit the Iguazu Falls, which are located on the border between Argentina and Brazil. It being a tropical area, the warm weather was a welcome change from the cold we had been experiencing in BA.
My mom and I stayed at the Sheraton hotel, which is literally inside the national park in which the falls are located, so we could basically just walk out in front of the hotel, and the falls were right there. The park itself is really well organized and maintained. There are walkways that line all of the walking routes around the falls, and they give you awesome close-up views of them. There’s also a little train that you can take through the park from the entrance to other trails within the park.
The falls were truly amazing. I had never before seen or been so close to that much moving water. It was scary, but exhilarating to just stand next to such a powerful force of nature. I’ll really let the pictures and videos speak for themselves.
To sum up, it was a really nice relaxing weekend filled with beautiful views, good food, and good company.

| There were coatis ALL OVER the park, everywhere you went |

| pathway to la garganta del diablo, where the falls drop off. Normally you can walk right up to edge of it, but the bridge was broken so this was as close as we could get |
