We were excited about crossing into Argentina but were slightly weary of doing it at Iguazu. We were expecting to find a town overrun by tourism due to its proximity to one of South Americas most popular attractions. On the contrary, Puerto de Iguazu was a nice surprise, although a bit wet, it's a great small place.
Unable to view the falls on the first day due to the rain, we had a chance to visit the outdoor market and indulge in tablas (a large plate of cheese, ham, prosciutto, olives, bread...), and Argentinian wine. It was our first and definitely not the last encounter we had with that combo.
On the second day we finally made it to the falls. The falls are shared by Brazil and Argentina but the latter holds the largest nature reserve, which features walking trails, elevated platforms above and below the falls, exotic birds and animals which include toucans and monkeys. The falls are simply incredible and the surrounding tropical environment only adds to their mystique.
