Iguazu!
Last week I went to Iguazu with my friend Carolina and her sister, Silvina.
Hostel Inn
We stayed at the Hostel Inn, a fun, very youthful place. Basically everyone there was from England, Ireland or France. Poor Carolina and her sister Silvina were a few of the only Spanish speakers there (although we did run into a few VERY Argentine men….chamucherros!).
We spent a lot of time just hanging out by the pool. I felt like a total nerd, because I was reading a book about economics. Carolina and her sister got a lot of sun, while I decided to stay as white as possible, applying 50 SPF every 2 hours.
On the first day, we headed to the falls at the wee hours of the morning. Now, I’ve been to Cumberland Falls in Kentucky. One waterfall. This was like Cumberland Falls on steroids. Or times a million.
We took a boat and went under the falls. Got soaked, of course, and then I ended up changing in front of a bunch of German tourists.
My favorite part was the Garganta del Diablo- a giant waterfall. I don’t even know how to describe it….so much mist, birds flying around. Incredibly beautiful.
On the second day, we went to the mines of Wanda. Not very much to see, but still gorgeous. Our tour guide told us about the different types of formations.
The trip was ballin’. You all should go. Two days is more than enough time to explore everything.
