Puerto Iguazu - where is the more beautiful side of the waterfalls?

After a few days of rest and recovery in Puerto Iguazu, we finally made it to the Argentine side of the Iguazu Falls. After booking our bus to Salta (another 180€ gone), we went straight from the bus station to the Iguazu Falls. When we arrived, they told us at the ticket counter that they only accept cash. But after already paying over 3000 pesos for the bus rides, we only had less than 1000 left. So I had to run to the ATM inside the premises (already behind the checkpoint) to find out that I had reached my daily limit... I also remembered something about that again..

We talked to the ticket sellers and park rangers that the ATM didn't give us any money, and in the end they let us in for the Argentine price, which is only half the ticket price for foreigners. So we ended up saving some money after all :D

Since it was already noon, we stopped at Subway, which interestingly enough is on every corner in the park. With our hunger satisfied, we went to see the Devil's Throat, which is located at the end station of the train.

This time we saw the action from above, which was quite impressive. We could actually see the difference in water volume between Monday and today (Monday and Tuesday, the dam is supposed to store more water). Incredible amounts of water were plunging into the depths. Occasionally, when the wind was unfavorable, a large cloud of water came towards us. It was interesting that the water was relatively warm. After taking some pictures here, we made our way back to the train. The way to the train station consists almost entirely of bridges that cross over the masses of water. Since the bridges are made of grids, you can see exactly what is happening below you - whether that is beautiful or not probably depends on the eye of the beholder.

We took the leisurely train to the next stop, where you can choose between the upper and lower paths. Since the lower path also leads to San Martin Island, we took this one. Along the way, there were a few more waterfalls. At one of them, you could get really close and get wet again.

Shortly after, we saw that the boats were not going to San Martin Island because the lower part of the path was underwater. I don't know if that's always the case on the 'more water' days. But it would be likely.

After that, we returned to the train and ended the day. We don't want to wear out Tom too much.

Conclusion: We found the Brazilian side to be more beautiful, maybe because we saw it first. But especially for the theoretical price of 35€ per person on the 18€ Argentine side compared to the Brazilian side, the Brazilian side has an obvious advantage ;)

Next stop: Salta, Argentina
