April 26-28th (overnight 15 hour bus there and 18 hours out)
Without trying to sound like a feature travel writer.. I have to explain what the Iguazu Falls are because before I started my research for this trip I'd never heard of them! The Iguazu Falls are huge waterfalls on the River Iguazu which provides nicely for a border between Brazil and Argentina, and further upstream is Paraguay so it's a perfect place for backpackers to cross borders. The local towns on either side of the border are heavily reliant on the Falls for tourists, if they weren't here there wouldn't be any reason to stop. My guidebook describes the Iguazu Falls as making Niagra look like trickle, and the entrance sign said it was 'NEW 7 Wonders of the World'.
A 'Double Rainbow' moment was had.
