My host family took me to Las Cataratas Del Iquazú over the winter holidays! I'm so thankful for that opportunity, it was truly something.
We left around 8 am on a Saturday morning and started the 1153.5 mile drive to the falls. (It was a 21 hour drive but we split it half so we only traveled about 9ish hours that day). First stop was Federación, a nice town off the border of Uruguay. In Federación we went to the thermas which was a hot springs! It wad super nice and there were a lot of people there. There was like 8+ pools too so not really crowded. After our 2 night stay we traveled to Puerto Iquazú (only your causal 11ish hour drive) and stayed in a house hotel. The next morning we went to see the falls. We spent all afternoon walking on trails and looking at the falls. I took a lot of photos but they are on my camera so I can't really post them on here and due to an accidental dropping of my phone into the toilet, I couldn't took photos of it with my phone. Also that day we went on a 3 or more kilometer hike to see a little fall then headed back.
The next day we went to the falls again but this time went on a boat trip. We went through the rapids then got super close to the falls, like we got pounded on by water. It was scarily amazing and we got soaked! The next day we went to the Brazilian side which was even more amazing! Argentina has more falls but the view is better in Brazil. After that we went to Paraguay which we only stayed for a hour and that was just sitting in the car. It was a little sketchy and Flor was freaking out most of the time saying that she wanted to go back to Argentina.
The next day we drove for an even longer time to Rosario, a very beautiful city where the flag was made, also where Messi lives. We even got to eat in a restaurant he owned. (It wasn't very good). The next day we went back to Necochea and got home around 8 pm, which was good as we had school the next day.
I am so grateful for my family for taking me and for this experience overall!
