A Brazilian Side To The Falls

On the second day, I awoke feeling much better and Keith was up and eating breakfast too. So we set off to the Brazilian side to see what was on offer from a different point of view. We also got another stamp in the passport, which we were all pleased with.

As to be expected, we were blessed with even more spectacular views of the falls, and since Keith and I hadn´t seen the Argentinian panoramic views, we were blown away. After walking along the walkway to settle in the restaurant (where you view the water just going over the edge) we all agreed that the Brazilian side was better.

The two sides were both fantastic with different experiences to be had. But the Brazilian side allowed you to see the full 2.7km width of the falls allowing you to appreciate the magnificence of them.



The Brazilian side packed a punch and were done with the Falls fairly early that morning. Across from the park in which the falls lie, there is a bird park, so we went around and viewed all the birds. Most are in aviaries, which you can actually walk through, so it´s possible to get really close to the birds as well. There was also a butterfly house which you could also walk through. This also housed humming birds which were truly beautiful.

Since Iguazu is in the rain forest, the number of butterflies is immense. The lick the salts off your skins, which means at times you could easily have several beautiful butterflies on you. Quite a treat.

The following day we flew back to Buenos Aires and back to our rigorous itinerary.
