Iguaçu Falls

Ok, some tips if you are planning to visit the waterfalls with seven jumps, even bigger than the American one.

Don't forget to plan everything for their winter, if you plan to be there during December, January, February... think about this twice, you will need more than a huge bottle of water, it's summer there and specially there that is a tropical forest, everywhere you turn you'll find insects.

So remember to carry, no matter when you go insects repellent all the time.
The waterfalls present their best jumps in the Argentinean part that is why you will get the superb view in the Brazilian side.

You have to options one is to stay in Brazil that is cheap although they raise prices for tourism or if not you can stay in Argentina.

If you choose the second choice, you will be glad to know that their most luxury hotel in the area does not cost fortunes. it's a Sheraton situated in the middle of the Argentinean national park, so if you fancy a look to the waterfalls in the middle of night, specially when there is full moon, you won't need to get out the hotel.

if you stay then in Argentina and someone offer to take you to the "Punto Trifinio"... save your money, there’s nothing there and it's called like that because there the 3 countries (Argentina, brazil, Paraguay) touch each other.

However, it worth a day trip to the "Ruinas Jesuitas", where you can find the mission of the colony in the times where they were teaching to the indigenes.

A visit to the tropical forest is a must, never go alone or without a proper guide, and enjoy the environment, maybe a typical rain and that red earth that reminds to more than one visitor about Australia.

Good luck and remember o drink lots of water!
