Back to tropical temperatures and humidity! The waterfalls of Iguazu are just amazing and although most people as well as most travel-guides state that the Argentinian side is nicer, I found them both very worth visiting. The Argentinian side might be a bit more spectacular but the Brazilian side has better views on the waterfalls as a whole and hence better picture opportunities.

Although the national park has much of an amusement park and it is packed with tourists, well, too many tourists except for me, it is a must for everyone travelling to the northeast of Argentina, the south of Brazil or to Paraguay. Not only are there the spectacular waterfalls, but if you keep your eyes open a little bit and if you have a bit of luck, you will see a bunch of tropical animals.
