Foz do Iguaçu (Brazilian Edition)

36 hours had passed since I was standing at a Glacier with a glass of Jameson, happy that the snow storm had subsided and now I was stepping out of a plane taken after a quick overnight stay in Buenos Aires to be hit by humid and really hot climate. It was around 38 C (which is 100 F - that one is easy to remember, but I still have to learn) and the airport was surrounded by tropical rainforest - this country is really diverse.

I didn't have long to get used to this change, because just a few minutes after arriving at the hotel, I was picked up again to get another easy stamp in the passport on an afternoon tour to the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls (I'll stick with this spelling). Though I can now say I have been to Brazil, that does not mean that I want to see a lot more of it - preferably in the summer of 2014 with World Cup-tickets (Fingers crossed).

There is not really much to say to describe the Falls: stunning, amazing, huge? After taking a touristy double decker bus through the National Park, you step off and walk a bit through the forest until you first see huge waterfalls. You start taking pictures thinking that this is already really big, but behind every corner, another stunning vista opens up and reveals even greater masses of water flooding down.

In addition to this, you also get some nice wildlife, like coatis (more on these tomorrow) and an army of beautiful butterflies in every colour or the rainbow.

But have a look yourself...

My favorite

The first view...and I thought this was already stunning
