After the weekend in BA, I split ways with Will (on a tighter budget than me) and flew up to Puerto Iguazu. I thought BA had been hot enough for my liking (very nice after Patagonia) but up north the heat was more oppressing. I got up early the next morning to get a bus out to Iguazu Falls as early as possible. It was well worth it - for the cooler air and less tourists. Either way, there´s still no way to avoid seeing people everywhere.
There´s not much I can say about the falls really. They´re awesome. They´re awesome to look at though, not talk about (have a look at the photos, instead). Things I liked about the falls were: the trickles running off the hanging bits of greenery, all the rainbows created in the mist off the falls, and watching the sheer amount of water running through the ´Devel´s throat`. It was really cool to pick a bit of water, then follow it down with your eyes.
It wasn´t easy though to feel anything really special about the falls, I guess thanks to the amount of people around - you turn into another person running around snapping photos. One nice time was laying down for lunch under some trees, and this cool little bird kept on hopping closer and closer on a nearby branch, chirping as if prompting a response from me. Nice until some French tourists came so close to grab a photo and scared it off. Then these butterflies came and landed all around me, I even got one on the end of my finger, it was great to have such a close look at it.
