After getting mugged by a coati and drenched in Devil's Throat we stopped for lunch in the park. The park provides multiple food options from a full-service restaurant, fast food option, to snack bars.
There are many options for additional activities at Iguaçu National Park including hiking, boat rides, rappel, etc. We decided rappel which entailed a leisurely stroll back to where the bus dropped us off, and purchasing tickets (R$70/person) at the gift shop near the rappel platform. For me, the scariest part of rappel was walking out on the platform. The platform was a bit shaky. Once we were out on the platform, we put on all of the proper gear (harness, gloves, helmet), and received instructions. After that, it was pretty simple to enjoy the view of the falls while lowering ourselves (slowly) into the canyon.
Side Note: While waiting to rappel, we met another couple from New York. They went to Brazilian Consulate in NYC and had to leave their passports for 2 weeks in order to get their visas. We thanked our lucky stars that we received our Brazilian visas same day at the Brazilian Consulate in Atlanta.
