Las Cataratas de Iguazu

Well friends, family, onlookers, whoever,

We finally made the trek to the famous Iguazu waterfalls. Our good friend Monica has been down in BA visiting us and getting to know this fantastic country and wanted to make the trip out there, so we took an 18 hour overnight bus ride there, spent two days in Iguazu lounging by our hostel's pool and visiting the waterfalls, and then an 18 hour bus ride back. I can safely say that the Iguazu waterfalls are the most impressive feat of nature I have ever seen. For anyone who has the chance to go, do yourself the favor. Monica even claims that the iguazu waterfalls "washes Niagara Falls away" Ohhhhhh puns. The day we visited them on wasn't the nicest day in the world but it really didn't matter to be honest. I could go on and on about how beautiful and magnificent the falls were but I'll let the photos do the talking

our hostel, the hostel inn. not so shabby
