Fascination Iguazu

Verëffentlecht: 15.04.2017

After an 18-hour bus ride, we arrived in Puerto Iguazu. A small, quiet, less beautiful town that is only touristy because of the nearby attraction - the Iguazu waterfalls. We will go there the next day after paying the entrance fee of 500 pesos (apparently getting more expensive every year), and then we take a train to the Devils Throat. From the end station, a path of metal bridges leads over the river to the waterfalls. Along the way, we encounter the well-known coatis. (As in Asia, some tourists do not seem to understand that these animals should not be fed, and therefore they can be quite cheeky!) Then we see a huge cloud of mist in front of us and behind it, the cascading torrents of water. At first, you don't even realize what is happening there, the water falls here with such force down that you can't see where it lands. You have to hurry to take photos because you will definitely get wet. Then we go back and have the opportunity to visit the other smaller falls. We decide to take the lower circular route first. Here you can also take a boat to the island of San Martin. From there you have an incredible view. We save the upper circular route for the next day. On day 2, the ticket only costs half price, so we go back to Devil's Throat since the weather is better today, and then we take the second route. Also from here, nice pictures again, but day 1 was definitely more impressive!

So after fully visiting the Argentine side, we don't miss out on the Brazilian side either. Here, you take a bus to the starting point of the path. This side offers panoramic views of the waterfalls. We were lucky, and thanks to the perfect weather, we even saw a few rainbows in front of the falls. And of course, you get completely wet here again! Since the visit here doesn't take as long, there is a bird park next door to visit. Half of the animals there were rescued and cared for due to injuries. There are enclosures that you can walk through and discover the birds up close. We were particularly fascinated by the toucans and parrots. In the enclosure of the macaws, all of a sudden there is a loud noise, and the birds fly very closely over our heads wildly through the cage - nobody understands why but still fascinating.
