Sofia Somewhere

The day after visiting the falls on the Brasil side, we decided to try and visit the Argentine side. To make a really long story short, I only had a single entry visa for Argentina, and I couldn't use it then since I'd be going to Buenos Aires on the 16th. We tried to call the embassy in Foz but they said that only residents could apply for visas in Foz. So Ange and I stayed in Foz and B and Daniel headed over to Argentina. So in the morning we stayed in at our hostel, Hostel Bambu , which is actually one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. We stayed in a 10 bed dorm room with an bathroom inside. It was clean and spacious and each bed has its own power outlet so you're not fighting to use one (automatically a plus in my book).

Here's a video of our boat ride at the Macuco Safari which Daniel took with his GoPro :)

Today, we headed to the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu to visit the famous Iguazu Falls! We took a local bus to get there, and it was only around 20 minutes from the bus station near our hostel (at the city center). The  Iguazú Falls , also spelled as Iguassu Falls or Iguaçu Falls, are one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site . As mentioned the other day,  Iguazu  from the Guarani words " y " meaning water and " ûasú " meaning big (and it certainly lives up to its name). We paid the entrance fee of R$49 and also bought tickets to the Macuco Safari (R$170) which a friend of Caio told me we had to do. 

One of Brasil's most visited places by tourists,  Foz do Iguaçu , is a city in the Brasilian state Paraná most famous for the majestic  Iguazú Falls . Iguazu comes from the Guarani word " y " meaning water and " ûasu " meaning big, and " foz " is Portuguese for mouth or portal. We headed to Itaipu Binacional in the morning (since we heard that it would close at 12nn because of the Brasil game in the afternoon). Also called the Itaipu Dam, it's one of the largest hydroelectric dams and is located on the Paraná River between the borders of Paraguay and Brasil.  The entrance to the complex
