Day two at Iguazu Falls

 

 

Once again we had an early start to the day. The goal was to beat the heat and the crowds.  Yesterday we hiked on the Brazil side of the falls and today we hiked on the Argentina side. Both are spectacular but you get much closer to the falls on the Argentina side. There are series of raised walkways and you can walk to the top of the main falls. The mist from the falls got me nice and wet.

 

After lunch most of the tour group went on a boat ride, some went back to our hotel, and I wanted to hike the lower trail on the Argentina side. Since I was the only person doing this I had the local tour guide all to myself. It was 96 degrees but there was enough shade that it didn't seem unbearable. the views were wonderful and it was truly a "picture perfect" day. 

We were in the rain forest and we saw a Coati, a lizard, monkeys, a large fish, and a large bird, and other birds. I needed my grandson, Eli along since he is becoming an avid bird watcher. 

My bucket list to see Iguazu Falls has been fulfilled. Seeing the falls brought me great joy.
