Erin & Regan's South American Adventure
Puerto Iguazu - Argentina
Hola,
The next day we headed back to the falls only this time it was the Argentine side. The entrance fee here also includes transport costs, this time a train which runs the length of the park.
Most people headed straight to the train, however the first leg can be done on foot (it's less than 1km) and so we did. Those that took the train missed out on some of the wildlife.
From the first train stop it was a modest walk past some small falls to the boats which head into the falls and also across to the small island you can see here.
Erin managed to loose her hat overboard and had to fish it out again, she blames having to wear the "stupid" life vests for her trouble.
On the island most people headed right so we decided to be a little different and head left. We were rewarded when we stumbled on this guy sunning himself on the path!
From then on I was on the lookout for more lizards but could only manage to spot this little guy.
The island gave us a close up view of these falls.
We headed back on the boat and headed to the next set of falls.
Of course the butterflies were out in force again.
There was another walk along the topside of the falls with some spectacular views.
Then it was on the train to the Devils Throat, at this point were some birds which didn't seem to mind us getting quite close.
The Devils throat itself is a huge circular set of falls which head back down the river to the island (on the left) and the Brazilian side of the falls (on the right).
While waiting for the return train trip I spied a largish green snake meandering through the train station and around.
