152 - Visit Iguacu Falls

A visit to the Iguaçu Falls is a must on many travellers' itinerary
of South America. And for good reason - they are incredible. You
can view the falls from both Brazil and Argentina, and each side
provides quite a different experience. We were staying in Puerto
Iguazu, which is in Argentina, and we visited both sides from this
point. It's equally easy to base yourself in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil,
which is a much bigger city. Brazil: getting there The border
crossing between Argentina and Brazil was very straightforward. We
decided to use the hostel-organised transfer instead of going
independently, which would have meant three buses and a lot of
time-wasting. So we crossed by car and didn't even have to get out
- we passed our passports to our driver Susanna, who gave them to
the border guards. They were stamped and we were in - possibly the
easiest border crossing ever, although the Brazilian stamps are
incredibly boring. Brazil: Pros and cons When we arrived, we
realised that we didn't have any real, and apparently none of our
credit cards were suitable for use. We withdrew cash at the ATM
with no problems though. It cost R$37, which seemed a fair price to
us. For more information visit:
