Iguazu Falls Weekend

So this past weekend, 20/9-22/9, I went with some friends to Iguazu Falls. Originally, the trip started with 6 of us. However, a day or two before, we had two people who decided not to go after all. So, we had a good group of 4: Costa, Matt, Becca, and me. The day of, Matt showed up late to the bus station and had to take the bus after ours to get there because he missed ours. It was about a 20 hour bus ride to get there, so once we finally all met up in Iguazu it was already Saturday afternoon. We got checked into our hostel, had some dinner and went to visit Las Tres Fronteras where Paraguay, Brasil, and Argentina all border each other. It was a pretty neat place to go, and we had a good time there. We took lots of pictures, watched the sunset and then headed back to our hostel.

The next day, we woke up and went into the park for the falls. It rained almost the entire day we were in the park and everything (including my "waterproof" rain jacket) got absolutely soaked! It didn't even matter though, because we had such a great time! There are not even words to describe how incredible, amazing and beautiful these waterfalls were. The pictures simply don't do them justice, but they can show better than I can describe with my words, so without talking anymore, here's some pictures!

These little guys are called Coatiés. They are little robbers and this guy was trying to steal my backpack and the sandwiches that we had inside :)

This was the boat tour that we did. They basically took us right up next to the waterfalls and even under a couple of them!

And here we are soaking wet after that tour...

On some other terms, I'm no longer sick! So that's pretty exciting! I just finished up with midterms this week which is why this post is coming so late. I can't even believe that my experience down here in South America is already half way over! However, looking back so far, I don't have any regrets and I'm looking forward to taking advantage of these next 3 months before I come home!!! I think that's all from my end now. I hope you enjoyed the pictures from this one!
