Our last stop in Brazil ended up being one of the trip’s highlights, so far: we arrived in Iguassu on Sunday night, and stayed in a hotel on the Brazilian side of the famous Falls. (We were sure we’d asked the travel agent to book a hotel on the Argentinian side, but then it’s our fault we didn’t check the itinerary.) We only had one day to visit the Falls – many people take 2 days to visit both Brazilian and Argentinian sides, for comparison – and as the Argentinian side is more extensive and varied, we decided to head across there for the day.
By the way: you’ll see different spellings of Iguassu, depending on the language. Iguaçu in Portuguese and Iguazú in Spanish… I’m opting for Iguassu, which seems more anglicised (and therefore neutral ;-).
This meant an early start: a 6:30am wake-up to be on a bus to Argentina by 8am… we had to get off the bus to do Brazilian immigration and customs (no need for Argentina, thankfully) and then change to another bus…
