Day two we headed to Argentina where I learned that my passport had expired

Thankfully we had a great tour guide and a back up to get me through

The front of our bus in Argentina and the back in Brasil

Taking in the views of the tri-country river where Brasil, Argentina & Paraguay all converge

Stopping at the first outlook

Amazing!!

Some pretty awesome waterfalls and spectacular views

Argentina side is different in that you take a series of trains and trails to see the falls from different angles

I love this man and am so grateful to see this beautiful world with him by my side

Waiting for the train and getting our hair done, time management girlie's

Bree was sick this day and not in the mood for pictures

I being a compliant mother took them anyway :)

Lots of coke and shade for her through the day

My little butterfly catcher. They were everywhere and became annoying by the days end

I spy with my little eyes Dad and the pink hat girlies Gwen & Jo

Sometimes our life feels like a zoo!

Iguaçu Falls via Brasil

Link to a video Sam made of our trip:https://youtu.be/y0evH9U77gU  

After spending the morning at the bird park we jumped in the van with Chavez

and made a 15ish minute drive to the entrance of Iguacu Falls on the Brazilian side

We had heard reports of which side is better to view

At the end of the trip we were really grateful to have seen both sides

The gang waiting for the shuttle bus to take us in to the boat area

First stop via an electric train, then a jeep and then a elevator to the base to board the boats

I don't have any photos from our boat ride because we were drenched when the ride was over

It was a cool but expensive experience to ride a boat to the base of one of the waterfalls

It was also fun the next day when we were on the AR side to see the boats that we had been riding in

Gwen hated the experience and kept asking when it would be over!

Hopefully we can get her on more of a tam boat ride soon

Panorama of the falls and it still doesn't do it justice

Walking out to Devil's Throat

  

Butterflies galore, this was just the start

These coati's are running all over the park and you are strongly discouraged from feeding them

The signs around the park of peoples hands being bitten into was discouragement enough

Jo proudly displaying the waterfalls

After heading back to the hotel for warm showers and clean up time we took the shuttle back into town and experienced Rafain Churrascaria Dinner & Show    
"45 extravagantly dressed artists take the stage, with costumes representing traditional dress from Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Be captivated by the energetic music as the Argentinian tango performance begins. Expect to hear traditional Mexican and Andean music and see Brazilian capoeira and samba—the perfect combination of Latin America's most enthralling performances."

Parque das Aves

2 weeks ago the girls had a 4 day holiday from school and Rob had a day off as well

We took advantage of a fairly free weekend and jetted off to Iguacu

Two flights later we landed at the airport and enjoyed just a short 5 minute drive to our hotel The San Martin

We crashed for the night and set out the next morning with our tour guide Chavez

First stop was the bird park which was literally next door to our hotel

It was a fun morning activity and very doable for families and little ones

 Eye spy with my little eye...
