Today was the day I had been looking forward to for a very long time - seeing the Iguaçu falls from the Argentinian side. It was really easy to get over the border, and then we arrived shortly after at the falls.

You have to take a train to see the falls, because they're so massive. I went right to the end of the track to the 'devils throat' which is by far the most spectacular aspect of the whole falls. It's really difficult to explain how insane these falls are so close up. On the Brazilian side, they're spectacular, but you see them as one big unit, whereas on the Argentinian side, you're right there next to them getting soaked! I stood on the platform with about 2000m cubed per second falling beneath me. How's that for humbling. It was truly one of the most incredible sights I have ever seen (and probably ever will see) and the 9000 videos I took don't do it justice. There are literally dozens of huge waterfalls all contributing to Iguaçu as a whole but the devils throat was the best part.

I then wandered around the rest of the park, stopping at each new waterfall and not ever really getting over how insane they were. It takes most people a whole day to get around the park, and I can see why, each section has its own massive waterfalls, and there are both the upper section, and the lower section for each waterfall. Some you get so close you get drenched, it's incredible.

Soon it was time to take a boat ride into the falls! I imagined this to be fairly tame and wasn't all that excited. I had a woman in front of me who was screaming like a banshee before we even left the dock. The boat seated about 20 people, and had two huge out board motors on the back - and they needed them. We got so close to the devils throat you couldnt see a thing and it felt like someone was pouring an endless bucket of water on you, it was that heavy! The whole boat was screaming and cheering and laughing our heads off. They sped out of there and put us directly under a smaller waterfall, it was so insane I can't imagine New Zealand laws would ever allow anything like it. Totally soaked and on such a high, we all jumped out of the boat and had one last walk around the falls. Then we headed back to the van on the train in preparation for our lunch - a world famous Argentinian steak! For about $15NZ you can get a steak the size of your fist and all the trimmings, cooked to perfection. It was the best steak I've ever had, hands down. I can't wait to go back to Argentina later on in my trip to eat my weight in cow. We washed it down with a bottle of delicious Argentinian red wine (malbec, my new favourite).

After a huge day, we headed back home to Foz in Brazil and had a nice early night.
