A girl even asked me if she could take pictures of them. I guess these shoes are still not well known here. In my case, I wore my Vibram FiveFingers KSO in the park which got me quite a bit of attention, especially from the young people. You’ll be given a dry bag where you can put all your belongings while on the boat.įor some reason, they don’t want you removing your shoes when you board the boat, so wear something you won’t mind getting wet. Just be aware that you will get soaked! Swimwear is recommended, you’d still get wet no matter what you wear, it’s like jumping in to the water itself. I highly recommend this as it was a lot of fun. The last thing I did before I left the park was the boat ride that takes you up close to the waterfalls. You’ll encounter animals such as monkeys along the trail. It was amazing to see the amount of water flowing through here.įrom here I took another train that goes to a different section of the park and just started following the different trails to see the falls at different angles. If you arrive at the park early I recommend you take the train to the Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat) first before it gets packed later in the day. To get around the park you can either walk or take the trains. Follow the sign to the ticket office ( boleteria) to purchase your ticket for 130 ARS. The bus driver will stop and shout cataratas (waterfalls) at the entrance to the park. The fare was 50 ARS roundtrip and takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The buses leave frequently, probably at least 1 every hour and I saw at least 2 bus companies doing the trip. I woke up early the following day to catch the 8am bus heading to the Iguazu Falls on the Argentinian side as I heard that you could spend an entire day easily on this side of the falls. I pretty much just spent most of the afternoon walking around and chilling at the hostel. It was very hot when I got there, much hotter than Buenos Aires. I stayed at the Marcopolo Inn right across the bus station, which I chose mainly due to the convenient location. I arrived at the town of Puerto Iguazu in the afternoon and decided to spend the night there before visiting the falls early in the morning. From here I will be heading to Brazil, with my first stop in the town of Foz do Iguacu to check out the falls on the Brazilian side.īelow is a quick summary of my trip. After a 17-hour bus ride from Buenos Aires, I finally reached the town of Puerto Iguazu near the Iguazu Falls, my last stop in Argentina.
