FOZ DO IGUACU (BRAZIL)




On the way to Foz do Iguacu, Phil was in tears seeing all the VW split screens rotting away at the side of the road. We went to the Argentinian side of Foz do Iguacu, a stupendous roar of 275 different waterfalls crashing 80 meters into the river Iguacu - breathtaking! Considering the huge amount of tourists we still saw amazingly lots of fauna. Butterflies, birds, caymans, monitor lizards and Phil even got harassed by a coati trying to steel his biscuits.

The Itaipu dam on the other side of town was a free entry propaganda trying to impress visitors with that amazing hydroelectric project. unfortunately they must have forgot to mention that a more impressive set of waterfalls than Iguacu has been destroyed including flora and fauna around the area.
