After a passable hotel breakfast we’re off to the park to see the Argentine side of the falls, and the famed Devil’s Throat. A short walk through the awakening town to the bus station. The bus leaves at 8:00 on the dot. Heat is already building and humidity is high. At the park entrance we buy our tickets then enter the park and head directly to the train station, where a small green trolley carries us to the Devil’s Throat walkway.

The Devil’s Throat is the highlight of the park for most people. A raised metal walkway very similar to the setup at Parque Glaciares crosses over numerous braids of the Iguazu River to the viewing platform over the waterfall; it looks like a giant hole, pouring water in from all sides.

We then walked the upper trail to get views of numerous other falls pouring into the river below.

After touring the Argentine side of the falls we took the bus back to town and had a light lunch by the pool while we waited for our driver to take us to Brazil. The border crossing was relatively easy, especially with our driver herding us through. Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay have a thirty kilometer duty free zone around the border, and shoppers from all three countries visit to get bargains in the zone, so they have a robust border crossing service to accommodate them. Once we crossed into Brazil it was a short ride to the Hotel de Cataratas overlooking the falls from the Brazilian side.

Tonight we’re hoping to see a rare event, a full moon over the falls and a Moon rainbow.
