We embarked on our 18 hour (plus or minus) bus ride at 4pm last Wednesday and drove straight through the night.
In the morning we arrived in the city of San Ignacio where we enjoyed a breakfast of coffee and crousiants, and saw ruins of the conquistadores.
On Day 2 we went on a Jungle Excursion, riding an open air vehicle I think I saw in a movie about the war in Vietnam.
We hiked through the jungles and came to a bride crossing to the top of Waterfall. Here, one by one, we repelled down the wet rocks of the cliff, through the rusing waters and down into a small pool below.
Next we saw rare and exotic animals at a local refuge that takes in hurt and abandoned critters, like our friends the monkeys, the tucans, and the warthogs.
SOMEBODY STOP THAT.... MONKEY!
At this corner of Iguazu three countries meet.
It is called "Tres Fronteras"
Where Paraguay, Argentina meet with Brazil.
Day 4 was the Adventure at the Falls themselves.
I hope you have watched the video, at the magnificance of these creations cannot be described in words.
The closest would be to say that we are very very small.
