ARGINTINA!!! Cataratas del Iguazú - BRAZIL!!! Foz do Iguaçu

Iguaçu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu.  The waterfall system consists of 275 falls and (269 ft) in height!!

It was an amazing trip!! 3 days packed full of travel, touring and wow faces!!! it was the busiest toursit attraction i have ever being too, id recommend it to anyone.

Me and Zaira started out with our 5th anniversary from rio, traveling through to Curitiba and then on to the falls of Brazil, spending the night there with a latin american dance show and buffet meal!  The hotel was gorgeous, i was even wow at this, beats those wee hostels that im used to!!! haha

Anyway the following day we left early to meet with the Brazil side of the falls, enjoying and freezing our bums off at this national bird park! we never expected it to be so cold, i was not prepared, it felt like a scottish winter!! anyway we arrived at the falls, and it was a beautiful day with the rainbow shinning over the falls, it was just perfect!! once we got back to the hotel we then went into Argintina for the day as it is only 15 minutes from the border, we went shopping!! how awesome eh? so Saturday was an eventful day!

The day started early on Sunday, we checked out of the hotel and set off for the Argintina side of the falls, this takes much longer as its far bigger and more beautiful.  We arrived not as cold this time, as i bascially wore every piece of clothing i had in my bag! hence why i look pregnant, and i even had to put my engagement ring on another finger becuase my hands were so cold it was falling off!! anyway apart from the freezing cold the sight of the falls was just amazing, it is the most beautiful natural wonder of the world i have ever seen.  We took many pictures and videos of the falls, i was very happy there, i never wanted the days to end!!

But sadly the day did end and we had to go back to Brazil, which we did to catch the plane to Rio, now coming from Iguassu which was like 0 degrees to rio which was 24 celsius, we felt the heat!! i was again happy to fly over rio!!

Obrigada Zaira for a wonderful trip!!

Next stop, Cabo Frio!!
