Location: Iguazú National Park, Argentina Argentina was more than the tango filled streets of Buenos Aires.
An overnight bus ride, or pricier internal flight, north from the capital to Puerto Iguazú paints the picture of a typical sleepy South American town.
A further 45 minute bus ride on the local service (filled with tourists), brings you to the UNESCO World Heritage listed Iguazú National Park. The visit is made even more worthwhile with a tour from Jungle Explorers who have agents all over town, from taxi drivers and hostel managers as well as inside the park, selling boat tours to the gigantically famous waterfalls.
The adventure begins by taking a truck ride around the jungle looking at greenery and foliage scaring off the possibility of seeing any wildlife that may live within its depths.
Then you board the boat and travel up-river to take in the views of the falls on the Argentine side. Watch as the boat's crew gear up from head-to-toe in waterproof pants and coats, they'll tell you quickly to put your cameras away in the waterproof bags provided. There's not much else to expect in the 30 degree temperatures but see your boat headed straight into the direction of the thunderous waterfalls! Once, twice and then what…? Again!
Enjoying the rest of the day, is not a matter of how many rainbows and butterflies you will see during your visit, nor is it seeking revenge on the coati that stole your lunch, it's a matter of whether you remembered to bring a dry change of underwear for after the tour! Item 46: Iguazú Falls? CHECK!
