Iguazu Falls

Here is a post from one of the nicest places I have ever seen, The Iguazu Waterfalls. The waterfalls is a system of 275 smaller and bigger ones which makes it to the largest waterfall system in the world. The place is really amazing. In lonely planet is written that the falls produce some water radicals whatever ... :) which make people happy. I didn't believe, but it really worked. I laughed like a small child.

As I wrote in the last post. My camera broke down in Rio. Fortunately I met a Chris from London with whom i visited the national park on both sides of border in Brazil and Argentina. By the way argentinian side is better and cheaper.

Now I let the pictures speak.

There are more photos from Iguazu. See them after double click on any of the photos.

Here is another good news. I got my camera repaired. It was a bit adventurous, but better then boring. When I got to the Argentina finally. The guys in the hostel told me that there are good bargains on alectronics and actually everything in Paraguay. In manner to save some money I tried to get there just couple of hours before my bus further to the heart of Argentina departed.

The first problem was the visa for Brazil and Paraguay. This area around Iguazu national park is three country region, where the police normally don't check anybody so I hoped that the guys are right.

After one hour of fear I got to the place called Ciuidad del Este. This is something between flea market and luxury malls one next to each other. Of course in front of each mall or better shop standed some guys with shotguns and some other light weapons.

I started to look for cameras and after one hour I found a shop, where one of assistants spoke english. He offered me one Canon camera for a good price. Then we talked a bit more and he got an idea to let his friend come and try to repair my old good ixus. I agreed and in five minutes the guy came and offered me reparation for 35 US dollars. We bargained and I got it for 20. This would be good so far. The only problem was the payment. I had only my card and 63 argentinian pesos in my pocket. There was no bank opened at three o'clock in the afternoon and in the reapair shop didn't accept credit cards. Well after another hour of fear I got my repaired camera back and I payed just the 60 pesos, which is around 12 Euro. They let me even three pesos for the bus.

Unfortunately the argentinian buses back to Argentina were all broken and I had no money to use another company.

Finally the right bus came and I got to Puerto Iguazu just on time to take another bus further to National Park de Ibera in Argentina.
