An early start as I had to catch a LAN flight a 9.05am flight to Iguazu. Well, at least that is what I thought. Trip advisor had other ideas, telling me my flight was delayed. But as I was booked to be p/u at 7am, I decided to go with the Argentinian flow. Which meant that, yes, Trip Advisor was completely correct and I had to sit at the airport for a couple of extra hours until the flight departed at 11.10am.
Flight finally departed Buenos Aires and I arrived at the hotel in Puerta Iguazu, late afternoon.
Our day at Iguazu National Park commenced with a pick up from the hotel at 7.20am so an early start. Not my forte....
There was a mix of nationalities on the bus, so we got to listen to the same information (although I did notice that the English translation on occasion had a bit less info than the Romance languages - French, Spanish, Italian) a few times.
I won't bore you with the details of the methods of getting around the park, all I will say is that there are three main trails - which have quite a few diverging paths - and it definitely is worthwhile taking a tour. There are so many wondrous locations from which you see different aspects of the falls, I really don't think it is possible to see the best of the falls on your own.
Let the images speak hopefully of the beauty of the falls, rather than me try it in words.
