The town around the falls doesn't really offer much other than a few decent restaurants and typical touristy junk. We stayed at the Stop hostel where the staff was pleasant but the rooms left something to be desired... well, unless you are particularly fond of the smell of wet carpet... no thanks.
From the town you take a 15 minute bus ride to the gate of the park, this area is far too reminiscent of the entrance to a theme park... but it is nice to see that the money you pay to visit is actually utilized by the park... there is a little train that runs from the entrance to one of the larger falls, here you really feel as though you are in Disneyland... The pictures don´t do this place justice and I lack adequate words to fully disclose the beauty of this natural wonder. If I had to recommend something to see before you die, it would be Iguazu falls. It is absolutely astounding to see all that water! Krista and I decided to splurge a bit and pay for the 15-minute boat ride that facilitated a truly intimate experience with the falls. Soaked from head to toe, we made our way back to the main entrance..
Day two of Iguazu was awesome, the views were still spectacular and breath taking. We saw loads more of those cute little rodent guys- (I think they are called coatis) who have become far too accustom to being around people... They nearly crawl into your lap in hope of charming you out of whatever bit of food you possess. Strange little creatures but definitely cute in their own unique way…
