Eftersom flyget var försenat och vi landade mitt i natten tar vi en sovmorgon första dagen i Iguazu (Argentinska sidan). Vi går vi ner till hamnen, dricker en iskall vatten medan vi ser ut över Rio de Iguazu (floden). Vi går vidare ner till
Tres Fronteras (där Paraguay, Argentina och Brasilien möts). Tim flyger upp sin drönare och får några fina vyer på alla tre länder samtidigt. Man kan ta en båt emellan men vi väljer att skippa det. Istället tar vi några bilder vid Tres Fronteras och går ner mot stan och käkar empanadas. Det är skönt att komma till i värmen (i Buenos Aires var det ca 15 grader, här runt 27/28). Vi köper en öl, en 700ml vin (13SEK), kex, chips och en choklad för totalt 35 spänn (billigt!) och sätter oss i en park och bara njuter i solen.
Det blev mat över som vi gav till en stackars hund som försiktigt åt upp resterna.
We had food over that we gave to a poor dog who gently ate from the plate.
Choklad -, passionsfrukts- och dulche-de-leche-glass.
Chocolate, passion fruit and dulche-de-leche ice cream.

Since the flight was delayed and we landed in the middle of the night we slept in the first day in Iguazu (Argentinian side). We take a walk down to the harbor, drink an ice-cold water while we look out over Rio de Iguazu ( the river). We continue down to Tres Fronteras (where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil meet). Tim uses his drone and gets some nice photos of all three countries at the same time. One can take a boat between them but we choose to skip it. Instead, we take some pictures at Tres Fronteras and go down to town and eat some empanadas. It is nice to get back to the heat (in Buenos Aires it was about 15 degrees celsius, here around 27/28). We buy a beer, a 700ml wine (13SEK), biscuits, chips and a chocolate in the supermarket for a total of 35 bucks (cheap!).
We walk back to see the sunset at the northernmost point, but we miss by half an hour so we are going home again. Tomorrow it's finally time for what we have been waiting for - the Iguazu falls.
After a night with a lot of noise from the hotel guests we wake up early by the alarm, eat breakfast and head down to the bus station. We hand in a bag of laundry that we collect when we return. The bus costs 320 pesos return trip for two people to the Argentinian falls. We spend about 6 hours in the park and walk almost the whole time. We go to the lower view points first which gives a completely crazy view of the falls. Then we do the upper part and it is also magical but definitely nothing compared to the lower ones.
We then take the train up to the devil's throat I am so excited because this is what I have been looking forward to the most with the Iguazu falls. The force from the falls is so strong that water "steam" comes up from it all the time and that sometimes blows over us like a rainfall. I use my camera once, then hide it under my rain jacket. The wonder of the nature. It looks totally unreal. At the train station back there are a lot of butterflies and coatis. We can see that the coatis have received food from humans before since they are anything but shy. I like animals but not when wild animals come too close.
We go for a small walk again on the lower part of the falls before returning to the bus back to town. The dinner was pizza and a "bife de chorizo". Sooo hungry after walking almost 30K steps (despite bus to the park and train inside the park). We go by a glass-place on the way home and buy three different flavors: passion fruit, chocolate and dulce de leche. Yummy!
