Iguazu Falls, Argentina and Brazil

The bus ride to Iguazu (18 hours) was great. It starts with a meal, then a movie, then going to sleep, waking up for breakfast, another movie, and about an hour later arriving to the destination. The best part is that the seat can fully recline like a bed.. So for those of you worried about my long bus rides - it is great! I was a bit sorry when the bus arrived, since it meant I had to get my bag, look for a hostel and start doing stuff (it is much easier to be on a bus, do nothing, be fed and watch a movie). But I knew that I had another bus ride coming soon (when I leave the Iguazu) so that kept me going :)

Arriving to Iguazu around 12:30 pm I found a hostel, and immediately went to the Brazilian side of the falls (offering a more panoramic view):


The next day I went to the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls which allows to get closer to the falls.

Here is a short clip of the largest waterfall in the Iguazu (there are many more..):



The waterfalls are really spectacular!!

There are also a lot of rainbows (as can be seen in the picture above). This is how one is created from the drops of a waterfall:


That evening (after going to the Argentinian side) I took a bus back to Buenos Aires (another 18 hour bus ride)..
