Stories from the Igassu Falls

.....Speechless...This is the feeling we had when discovering the Igassu Falls! They are amazing, noisy and well very wet for the tourists traveling on a boat:)
In this part of Brazil (bordering with Argentina and Paraguay), it was super warm (and of course super humid). We could say even that we don t need too much clothes to go around. Well the good news is that we now don t have too much clothes to go around as half of our clothes got "lost" with the laundry service of our hostel Bambu. (The hostel should send them to our hostel in Rio..)



Like most of the tourists in this area, we dedicated 2 days to the waterfalls. First one, we went on the Brazilian side of the falls which gives a great overview of the size of the falls. The 2nd day we did a tour organised by our hostel to see the Argentinian side. There we did a boat tour to see the falls at the water level: it was a cool and very wet experience! We as well had the chance to spot quite some wildlife: a deer, an small anteater (!!), 2 iguanes and thousand and thousand of buterflies (I don t like these flying creatures too much, sometimes these little bastards were even landing on us..).

For our final day, we tried to change our travelerchecks (this expedition ended in failure) and we went to visit Itaipu: the biggest power plant in the world! No need to mention that this was Peter´s idea;) The hydraulic plant is amazingly huge and produces yearly enough electricity to meet the needs of Paraguay for 11 years. Not bad isn´t it?
