Puerto Iquazu Day 3

We woke up early again and headed to the supermarket for lunch and dinner supplies. After returning to the hostel to drop them off we boarded a taxi for the falls on the Argentina side. After entering the park we looked at the map and tried to find the trail to the upper. We found one dirt trail that didn´t seem to be located on the map. We followed it for awhile until we realized we had read the map wrong so we turned around and back the direction we came. Once we were back on paved area we were able to find the correct trail. The upper trail led above the falls and right over the top of many. The walkways were grated therefore you could look straight down and see the falls drop off. The trail winded around many of the falls. We then walked the lower trail where you went down to the bottom of some of the falls. Here we were able to get soaked, which was nice considering how hot it was!!! After completing the trails we hopped on the train that took you to the Devil´s Throat. Here we unloaded the train and had to walk across grated walkway over the river until we were right at the edge of the devil´s throat. It was amazing. I took video of it for a little while. I couldn´t believe the view and the rainbows and all the mist whooshing through. This was the end of our day at the falls and the end of our adventure on both the Brazil and Argentina side of the falls.
