IGUAZU...... Soaks you right through.

OK so it really is amazing. Was not expecting to be so impressed and to get so wet too! Puerto Iguazu town is nice and our hostel is great, really chilled out and everything feels humid and jungle-like. Lots of green everywhere which is nice after so much barreness.

Day one, didn´t make it to the falls, Dutch people, dodgy pizza ( too much cheese agaaaaain!) and too much beer the night before made sure of that. So day 2 we went. There are 250 waterfalls altogether and the 1st bit we went to was the Garganta de Diablo or the Devil´s Throat. This is where a load of them converge, the noise and the spray is immense.




Then we went down to the lower cicuit to see a panorama and you can get right up close and wet through again, welcomed in the afternoon heat. There are loads of rainbows everywhere too.








Then we did a small trek to a separate waterfall you could swim in and saw loads of cool butterflies and Coaties along the way, they nick your food if you aren´t careful!




That is me ( nic) under the waterfall in that last pic and yes it hurt like hell! And that is only a trickle!
