Iguazu Falls






While in Buenos Aires, we took a few side trips. The trip to Iguazu Falls, our last trip, came at the end of our stay in Buenos Aires. I could say we saved the best for last but as far as I’m concerned, it was all the best. We booked our bus tickets with Omni Lineas, great service and lots of good info. Via Bariloche is the bus line we took; better than any air flight we could have taken. We board the bus in the evening and arrive in the town of Puerto Iguazu mid morning the next day. On the bus each seat reclines fully, not disturbing the person behind you at all, each seat has its own TV screen, with various videos to pick from all night long. There is a great dinner served by a steward and you even are offered a late night whiskey. We had a great night’s sleep as well as a nice meal. The facilities even worked, and it being a chemical toilet meant that the bus didn’t have the usual odors that we suffered through on all our other bus trips.

The town of Puerto Iguazú is in the province of Misiones has a population of 32 thousand inhabitants. It is a mainstream tourist destination due to the famous waterfalls that are situated at the border between Argentina and Brazil at a distance of about 20km

I am not going to say anything about the Falls; the pictures say it all.
