Igauzú Falls to Buenos Aires

Sunday – January 16

Igauzú Falls From Brazil

The morning we drove to Brazil to observe Igauzú Falls from a different perspective. Instead of being on top of the falls or in them, we could see them from across the river. This view opened up a new panorama. We walked with hundreds of people on a path above the river and stopped several times to take photos and video clips. It was just as spectacular as yesterday. It was hot and humid, but we didn’t get wet from the spray as we did the day before.

At the end of the path, we took an elevator to the top of the cliff and visited the Brazilian National Park concession area. Then we got back onto our bus and left for Porto Igauzú. We went back through both the Brazil and Argentina immigration. Brazil took forever. Argentina was quick.

In Porto Igauzú, we stopped for lunch at a pizzeria. Pizzerias here are similar to the ones in Italy. They serve much more than pizza. Ann had ravioli while I had sliced pork with a salad. We split a large bottle of cerveza.

After lunch we went back to our hotel, picked up our luggage and drove to the airport for our flight to Buenos Aires. When we got to the airport, we discovered that flights to and from Buenos Aires were delayed because of thunderstorms there. It’s 6:00 and our plane has not left Buenos Aires yet. We are going to have a long wait.

Well, we left at 8:30 arriving in Buenos Aires at 11:00. We are settled into our hotel. It’s 12:15 and we are going to bed.
