Puerto Iguazú, Misiones (para Las Cataratas de Iguazú)

After a rather restless 12 hour overnight bus trip, I have made it to Puerto Iguazú. For overnight bus trips you can go what is called “cama” which is like flying business class. The seats almost go horizontal and you are served some food and drink. It was not so bad for my first overnight bus trip!

Puerto Iguazú is the Argentinian base for visiting the Iguazú Falls. The town itself is fairly modern and not all that attractive. It is certainly touristy as you would expect. And it´s shorts and t-shirt weather, which is a welcome change from Buenos Aires. I am staying in a rather large youth hostel called the "Hostel-Inn" on the main road between the town and the Falls. It´s cheap and cheerful and should do for 3 nights. Tonight I am taking a special full moon tour of the national park anf the Falls, which should be a treat.
