Cataratas y Coatíes.

So me and Jessi hopped on a bus on Wednesday and took off for Argentina's Northeastern Litoral to the tiny city of Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, Argentina. After arriving at 6pm, it was dark out already so the first night we spent in the hostel, resting up for a day at the Iguazu national park, a jungle park where you can visit some of the world's biggest waterfalls.

The Park was amazing, there were paths that took you above and below the waterfalls and through the jungle, and it was beautiful and a nice 70 some degrees, (a great change from Buenos Aires that hasn't hit temperatures above the mid 50s for a while now).

While walking the paths you'd come accross these little Racoon-monkey like creatures called Coaties. They were everywhere trying to go through people's food and the garbage cans. Unfortunately we didn't see any monkeys :(

And the grand finale of the day at the park was going to the Garganta del Diablo falls, or the Devil's throat. They're the biggest falls in the park and to get to them you have to walk on a 1100 meter metal bridge over the river leading to the falls, but it is well worth it. It is a complete hypnotic site, the amount of water falling is incredible and the power of the falls. 

The next day, we had a full day before getting on the bus to head back to Buenos Aires, so we walked down to the Hito de las 3 fronteras. Which is a monument site on which you can look over where the Paraná and the Uruguay rivers meet and on the left, you can look at Paraguay (and even see the skyline of Ciudad del Este Paraguay in the distance) and on the right you can look over at Brazil. And on each side you can see giant markers painted with the colors of their flags. 

In this picture, I'm obviously sitting in Argentina, on the right of me, that is Brazil, and on the left that is Paraguay. 

Now its back to Baires to enjoy my last 1 and a half or so and my last weekend in the city before I head home! OOH and of course final exams haha.
