After our amazingly luxurious bus journey we arrived in Puerto Iguazu which is the Argentinian side of the falls. On our journey we managed to pick up a lone 50/60 year old Brazilian turned Australian traveller who decided to latch on to us. Whilst we were trying to find directions for Hostel Inn at tourist information, he proceeded to try and book the three of us into another hotel and was then quite frustrated when we told him we had to go to a cashpoint because we had no Argentinian money. He offered to pay for our taxi but we assured him we needed money, his reaction was "When you have pesos you change your plans, you leave me here. You get on another bus, it's happened to me before!". So, we escorted him to the same hostel but luckily managed to ditch him at the reception.

Our first experience of the waterfalls was from the Brazilian side. We started snapping away as soon as we saw our first glimpses but as we turned the corner we had panoramic views of the falls as far as the eye could see. The waterfalls weren't the only sight we were interested in, "somebody opened the door to the coffee house and a raccoon came running in". There were lots of very friendly raccoons scavenging for people's lunch.

We spent the next two days at the Argentinian side of the waterfalls and saw everything we had seen from the Brazilian side but we were barely ten feet away from it. We walked for a whole day on the various suspended walkways until we reached the very top, the Devil's Gorge/Throat. Even though there was hardly any sun you couldn't look straight down into the waterfall because of the glare and the spray. It was amazing. The second day we went back to do the "Great Adventure" which included a very noisy jungle tour which scared off all of the animals and was followed by a boat trip up through some rapids and then underneath two of the many waterfalls. We were soaked and freezing but it was well worth it.
