HHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII everybody on the other side of the other side of whatever it is you are viewing this off of! I am back today with another super duper awesome blog post for you about my trip to the Iguazu Falls and all of the stuff in between until we got to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. So first of all, after our stay in Buenos Aires, we drove to another part of Argentina where the famous Iguazu Falls where located. The Iguazu falls are the natural border between Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay and they are a massive waterfall that some people even compare to Victoria Falls in Africa! So anyway, we drove over to our hotel and after we unpacked and settled in, we drove to see a view of the falls and we got a great view of everything there and what we were in for the next day.
The next day, we went to the place where the falls were located and after waiting for an hour, we got inside the park and toured around the place. When we were there, we saw cute little animals called coati that are like raccoons but with longer snouts!
They followed us everywhere and they kept begging for food, which was cute because they kept trying to get into our backpacks! We eventually hiked for about 30 minutes and reached the peak of the waterfalls where we got sprayed by the massive amounts of water that were pouring everywhere. It reminded me a lot of Victoria Falls and our stay there because of the atmosphere and the intensity of the falls and after that, we took a bus tour to a boat ride.
While we were on the bus, the tour guide’s hat accidentally touched a branch and a giant spider landed on it, causing the entire bus to go in a frenzy. We finally got to the boat ride where we got sprayed by the falls and after that, we went back to the hotel and called it a day.
The next day we left Argentina and went to Brazil, where our first destination was the bird sanctuary. While we were there, we saw many different bird species native to South America that were nearly extinct such as the Blue Macaw, which made me sad because these beautiful animals are being killed off for no reason and it’s horribly damaging the ecosystem there.
After that, we went to a wax museum, but it was very expensive so we only went in the entrance and after that, we went back to another hotel and our time before Rio de Janeiro was complete.
