Day 6 - Iguazu Falls / Iguaçu National Park

Today we visited one of the Seven Wonders of Nature Iguazu Falls.  Iguazu Falls spans both Brazil and Argentina, and has multiple spellings including Iguazu Falls, Iguazú Falls, Iguassu Falls or Iguaçu Falls (Portuguese: Cataratas do Iguaçu [kataˈɾatɐz du iɡwaˈsu]; Spanish: Cataratas del Iguazú [kataˈɾatas ðel iɣwaˈsu]).
After breakfast at our B&B, we walked out to the main street in Foz do Iguaçu and took public bus 120 to Iguaçu National Park.  We found taking the public bus in Foz to be just as easy and almost as cheap as Rio.  You don't need bus card or exact change to ride the public bus here.  There is a cashier on board to make change and the cost was a flat fee of R$2.90 per person.  The bus dropped us off at the Iguaçu National Park welcome center.  There were plenty of ticket booths open with no line.  We exchanged our pre-paid vouchers for entry tickets.  Iguaçu National Park has a website where you can prepay your entry fee with your credit card in advance.  From the welcome center we boarded a bus into the park.  The first 2-3 stops were for excursions (hiking, rafting, etc..), we stayed on the bus until it let us off at the first lookout point for the falls.
The first lookout point was spectacular with rainbows and endless waterfalls.  From the first lookout point, there was a paved path for visitors to walk along the edge of the falls.  We were lucky to visit Iguaçu Falls on a perfectly clear day.




The views of the falls became more and more spectacular as we walked along the path until we finished the path at Devil's Throat.  Just yesterday, we were in Rio visiting Christ the Redeemer statue, and today we were in Devil's Throat.

More to come on our visit to Iguaçu National Park and Devil's Throat.
