Iguazú, Argentinian side

On the next day we crossed the border to Argentina to see the other side of the falls. I was happy to get a reduced entrance fee as Brazilian resident ;) The other side is totally different to the Brazilian one. From Brazil you see the whole panoramic view of the falls, whereas from Argentina you can get very close to the falls themselves. And there it didn't matter anymore whether or not the falls were dry because even then it was a huge amount of water coming down. We just stood there for a long while, it was really impressive.
But before that we took a trail through the jungle for 3 km or so, it was a beautiful day and we saw some animals like a capivara (that's like a huge guinea pig that swims in the water), monkeys, alligators, colorful birds and lots of butterflies.

Later that day I returned to Brazil to catch my bus to Sao Paulo. It was full with smuggler who came back from Paraguay. Many of them do that several times a week and were there when the bus got robbed a week or so before! Although it was a long 17-hour ride I slept the whole time and got back to SP well around noon on Sunday.

From far away they don't look that huge do they?
