Iguazu Falls

After Ushuaia, We headed up north to the Iguazu Falls. They were amazing. It had thunderstormed the night before we got there, so we were a little worried that it would keep raining the whole time we were there. However, it cleared up every time we went into the park. How lucky was that? You can see how there is so much vapor from the falls since it had rained so hard the night before.
So the first day we got there, we got the great adventure package which included a jeep tour through the park, a boat ride under the falls (which we got SOAKED), train rides through the park, and then we finished it off with a canoe trip through the iguazu river (which was a little scary at some parts when it looked like we were heading off the falls).
Here was are on the boat ride under the falls:
and here we are one our canoe trip through the river. There was only one other couple with us. They were from the chzech republic, and very nice:


Here we are on the second day. We got all the adventures done on the first day since we knew for sure it was sunny. That night it thunderstormed and rained again ALL night. We stayed at this little hotel where we stayed in little one room cabins. It was pretty cool. No phones, no tv, and NO airconditioning.... it felt like we were camping. Our view outside was pretty cool though.. just pure rainforest.
This is at devil's throat:
just walking around the park:
The Falls were absolutely unbelievable. The first time I saw them they literally took my breath away. I know that sounds super cheesey, but never in my life have I ever seen something so beautiful and so big.

Here are the CRAZY creatures that ATTACKED me. Stupid Coatis. Tanner and I brought a sandwich with us into the park, and as soon as we sat down and opened it up, at least 20 of these coatis came and surrounded us. They hopped up on the bench and got into my purse as I was screaming and running away from them. They kept coming after us and finally they cornered me into a gate and this huge coati jumped up and snatched my bag of food and ripped it to shreds. I thought I was going to die. They then proceeded to jump on top of each other screaming as they ate our sandwich and tanner's beloved alfajore. (which he had been saving all day.)Before we left Iguazu, we took a bus downtown to where you can see Paraguay on the Left and Brazil on the right.
Onto Mendoza!!!!
