Foz do Iguazu - the more beautiful side of the waterfalls?

The Iguazu Falls are located in the tri-border area of Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina, but there is only direct access from Argentina and Brazil (although there are waterfalls also at the Paraguayan border). Since there are over 250 more or less large falls that are in a U-shape, not all waterfalls can be seen from both sides.

As always, the opinions on the internet differ as to which side is more beautiful. To form our own opinion, we wanted to see both sides.
First, we went to Foz do Iguazu - the Brazilian side. Here we had a hotel that was already on the road to the waterfalls and thus was quite well connected.
After checking into the hotel and exploring the area, it started raining again. And shortly after, I noticed how a water drop fell on the chair next to the bed every few seconds. Well, a few drops - that's not a problem. And as long as it's not above the bed, the hotel was cheap and there was a good breakfast included, so you don't expect too much. Eventually, two spots in the bathroom started dripping as well. So after the first night, we decided to change rooms.
Then we got a room without any dripping  :D

After changing rooms, we went to the tri-border area. Each country has its own small station, which can only be visited in that respective country, as a river divides the countries. 

We took a taxi there because on Sundays there is only a bus every 40 minutes. After waiting for 10 minutes, we went back to the hotel and of course the bus drove past us at that moment. Then we went there, took a look for 20 minutes, and wanted to take the bus back.. Eventually, we decided to walk and ended up walking all the way back to the hotel without a single bus passing by.

So, now to the actual main attraction, the waterfalls. After a 20-minute bus ride, passing the airport, we arrived at the waterfalls. For about 18€ entrance fee per person, you were taken to various stops within the park by another bus (boat tour, safari tour, bike tour, canoe tour..), and at the end of the bus ride there was a 1.5km long path to the waterfalls. Right after getting off the bus, you had a first amazing view of some of the waterfalls of San Martin Island (located in the middle of Brazil and Argentina).

Despite being the low season, there were still enough people there (you don't even want to know how crowded it gets during high season), all wanting to take lots of photos. Especially at the viewpoints, you sometimes had to wait in line. 

At the end of the path, you reach a bridge that brings you even closer to the Devil's Throat. At this point, you will definitely be showered with the swirling mist. 

But the misting already starts quite a bit higher. Since it was very overcast for us, it could have just been drizzling rain as well. In between, there are always great photo opportunities of the different waterfalls.
Additionally, you occasionally see a coati in search of something to eat. 

Hands can sometimes be mistaken, at least there are discouraging pictures of bloody hands on the way to the waterfalls that suggest it ;)

So, in the end, it was a nice trip. With more money, you can do more things and stay longer, and with better weather, you can spend much more time here. But for us, 2.5 hours were sufficient. For $70, driving to the falls by boat and getting even wetter is probably more fun at 30°C :)
