ok so Iguazu falls from the Argentinean side.. I didn't actually realized this but some of the girls that was in the hostel in BA was in Iguazu as well the 2 australian girls specifically Julia and Hannah they were really fun so we decided to go to the falls together.
We did the jungle trail which was chosen by all of us as the most exciting as there was a rubber boat that we boarded and we saw alot of the wild life around the falls. It was also the one we chose because Julia had another adventure booked for that afternoon.. To get to the start of the tour we were supposed to take a train but we being adventurous thought that we'd walk along side the train tracks which was recommended by Julia as we would have to wait around 15 minutes for the train otherwise.. There was mud everywhere and water and pot holes basically it wasn't the best way to get there and mid way though the train went past as we were dodging everything.. We got to the start it was pretty cool.. I worked out an ingenious way of keeping our cameras dry but still being able to take photos on the water.. We actually got to see a crocodile and all sorts of spiders and stuff.. It was quite amazing I can't remember everything about what the tour guide said but it was pretty interesting..
After the eco tour Julia left us and went to her adventure and left me and Hannah to do the rest of the park it was pretty cool.. We went for a giant walk around and ended up at the part where we do the jet boat under the falls it was amazing but very very very wet.. There is a video of us under the falls. We for another walk on the other side of island which was cool as well as there was a vulture at the top of the mountain ish thing.. We then went back to catch the bus back to the hostel as it was getting late.
When Julia got back and we had all had a shower and stuff we went out for dinner. I had a giant steak and they both had salad I think but we polished off a bottle of wine which was pretty nice. It was a very nice meal I have to say. The girls were going back to BA the next day as they were going to Uruguay then to Paris.
But for me the falls at Iguazu were still not finished as I have still not been to the devils throat it was amazing when I got there you could never imagine how fierce water can be there was back spray as high as a 3 story building. I was amazed I didn't know that water was able to defy the laws of gravity. In this place it was able to water was actually traveling upward instead of down. It was worth the ticket price just to see this. Anyways after this I ended my stay in Iguazu and went onto a place in the north western part of Argentina called Salta.
