The next morning we got up early for our day at the falls. We started off with a boat tour that takes you up the Iguaçu river and directly under the falls! We maybe should have done this towards the end of the day as we got absolutely drenched, but luckily it was a hot day so we managed to dry off relatively quickly! It was great fun and a recommended experience for anyone who ever has the chance to visit!

After our boat trip we did a few recommended trails and hikes around the area to try and get some better views of the waterfalls and some more photos to add to the collection. One of the sections of the falls was called “Devil’s Throat” and it was amazing to see up close how powerful these waterfalls actually are!

On our trails, we even managed to see some Monkeys, Toucans and lots of Coatis along the way. There are apparently Jaguars living in the National Park also, but thankfully we didn’t come across any of them! The Coatis are greedy wee bastards who aren’t scared to come up and steal food off of you! They’re even wise enough to open the zips from backpacks if they think food is inside. Was funny and great to sit and watch them in action against unsuspecting tourists.

That evening we took a bus into Brazil. Although we got on the bus without an issue, we had to go through immigration with our passports at the border. We got off at the first stage of the border which was to depart from Argentina. We all got back on the bus and a little further up the road we had to do the same for entry into Brazil. This time it was only the two of us who got off, with help from an English speaking local on the bus who advised us that we would have to go through immigration and get the next bus. After going through the process we asked the immigration officer when the next bus would be, who laughed and replied it would be another hour!

Tired, hungry and stranded, we decided to grab an Uber to our next destination, considering they were relatively cheap and got to our accommodation for some much needed sleep.
