Iguazu Falls...Breath taking

Following on from yesterday´s posting we arrived in Puerto Iguazu on the Argentine side of the falls. Puerto Iguazu looks very much like what you would expect a small mexican town to look like only the place isn´t in Mexico and the locals don´t wear somberos. Very humid and hot we ended up getting a hotel for two nights at the airport since it would save us the cost of transfers to and from the airport (around 35 pesos one way and the hotel only cost around 112 pesos a night). Alas whilst the hotel looked good in the brochures it turned out to be a bit of an older crowd...a much older crowd. The moment we walk into the lobby it felt like we were walking on to the set of ¨Cocoon¨ and while we don´t know what the name of the hotel means (El Liberatore) we think it may mean something along the lines of ¨The Retirement Village¨...at least we can laugh at it. =) We´ve only seen two other young people...two girls by the pool...who we think might have been checking us out...but then it may have been because we were the only two males in the hotel not on pension yet!

Today we went to the Iguazu National Park to visit the Iguazu falls....absolutely breath-taking...words cannot do it proper justice so i´ll just leave you with a few snaps from today...enjoy!


Little non-mexican mexican looking town...

We didn't do this...but it sure looks like fun!


We did do this though....the force of the falls is incredible up close

It's very peaceful walking to the main falls through the waterways that feed into Iguazu
