The next morning, I got up and caught a bus to Iguazu Falls, Argentina. After going through customs at the border and changing busses at Puerto Iguazu, I was on my way to the park.
The Argentina side of the falls felt much more developed. There were several trails instead of just the single trail, so it didn't feel nearly as crowded. The Brazilian side gave more of a panoramic view, but the Argentina side let you get up close and personal to the falls, especially the lower circuit trails.
Great dusky swifts (vencejos) perched on the rocks by the falls. These birds flitted in and out of the falls catching insects.
Salto Bossetti - you could feel the mist from these falls.
A small waterfall and lagoon on the Lower Circuit trail. It looked like the perfect place for a swim (if not for the sign prohibiting swimming).
The calm surface waters plunge into the Devil's throat (Garganta del Diablo).
The roar of the falls was almost deafening, but the spray felt fantastic.
The Argentina side of the falls didn't have nearly the problem with coatis as the Brazil side. Unfortunately, an even worse pest attacked your lunch....wasps!
After a day at the falls, it was back on the bus to Brazil for dinner and sleep. The next morning, I had an early flight to Campo Grande.
