On route to Iguazu falls

Sun is out, weather is gorgious, a bit like (not) England from what I understand!
We are now making our way to Iguazu Falls, one of the most anticipated part of the trip. In the meantime and because South America is very big, we are taking stops along the way, and good ones if you ask me!
We spend 2 nights in Esteros del Ibera, one of SA biggest and richest wetlands.

I did an early morning boat trip looking at wild life and a night walk in another area of the reserve.

After all that wildlife, we take a break with the visit of jesuit missions. Even though we're not in Brazil yet, we spend the night drinking Caipirinha!! Needless to say that weight and mesure haven't reached Argentina which made the next day visit slightly difficult for some of us...

It is with great excitement that we finally arrive to Iguazu falls. Plan is to have a whole day on Argentinian side with a walk around what is one of the most incredible water falls in the world, higher than Niagara falls and larger than Victoria falls. It is composed of more than 270 individual falls!









And then we cross the border to Brazil where we spend 2 days. It is about seeing the other side of Iguazu falls, wandering in a bird sanctuary and go for a boat ride under the water falls!!

















The second day is about chilling and passing the border to Paraguay for 2 hours visiting the incredible chaotic duty free zone. Although I was going just to browse thinking I wouldn't buy anything, temptation was too strong and I decided to buy a Gopro Hero3 Silver. Videos will come as soon as I finish downloading Imovie (1.3Go).
