Yeah...I don't think so. I arrived at Iguazu and went to a great hostel which had an awesome pool. That is the reason I chose it as well. I shared a room with 2 girls both from holland and it was really quite nice. It is a weird thing hostel living and those who stay there. You have the older Europeans who always travel in packs; the Frenchies who you don't really know what they look like until the smoke clears - if it ever does, the Brits (and Germans) who are paler than Casper and always wear dark socks. Then you have all the "kids", yes I will say kids becasue that is what they are...not that I am that much older but damn, I wish i did this when i was their age. They truly think they are rockstars. You have your clicks but all with a hippie vibe about them, reminds me of highschool. All in all- I met some really great people.
The Falls were incredible. Eleanor Rosevelt said in comparing Niagra to Iguazu, "Poor Niagra". I have never seen Niagra but one would have to think the same. They were truly amazing. I felt like a fool clicking 100's of pictures at water and rock formations TRYING to be artistic...but you can't get enough. I took the "Gran Adventure". Gran adventure my ass. The "sales" guys (there were two), the first was are cabbie and he kept telling us we need to do this it is great...i should have known then. The second actually worked for the tour company and the cabbie got a kickback etc...I was totally NOT going to do it but the group of girls i was with were all doing it so i did. What a joke. The "ride" through the "jungle" was a dirt road that lasted 15 min with the loudest engine so yeah...don´t think we are going to come up on any wild animals. Then we get on a boat and go through some "crazy rapids" (the sales guy again) I have better rapids when I fart in the bathtub. However they take this boat into the falls - you are getting soaked by these incredible water falls. The louder you scream the captain keeps going back for more. Afterwards when you look at it you think the boat could have been pulled in and we all could have died - totally worth it! Then for the last part of the "gran adventure" you got to walk the FREE trails and FREE train up to devils throat. It was still awesome despite the "Gran Adventure"!!
