IGUAZUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Wow! What am amazing place it is here! We arrived with a bit of difficulty but we finally arrived thank god! The tire on the bus was flat and it took them four hours to fix it, so after that we were on our way! It took the whole estimated time: all 17.5 hours! O my gosh, next time flight but it was definitely worth it. I don´t know what else I could do here. We did two excursions. Yesterday we went to the falls: Cataratas to the Argentine side since I can´t go to the Brasilian side because it´s a holiday and plus it costs $100 US, not worth it right now. Maybe if I were to go for a week but for a day no, I could buy a plane ticket to Chile with that money. Anyway, so we went on a boat that took us to the Brasilian side and the Argentine side, we got completely soaked. Then we hiked the entire park, it was completely beautiful and the weather was perfect! Then we went to the Garganta del Diablo, o my god completely amazing. I can´t explain it, its soooooooo huge! It´s as if the waterfall had a mouth and it was sucking everything in it´s sight into it, hence the name. It was sooooo beautiful and breathtaking. We didn´t see many wildlife because the truck tour was full and the boat tour we couldn´t do because of the water being too high. But I´m quite satisfied. Then last night we got home and ate dinner with some guy friends that met us up here at their hotel: which was a rip off! I prefer to stay in the hostels, you meet people and have fun. But next time I´m definitely going alone or with an Argentine or someone who is cheap and likes to go with the flow because I´m with two whiners ugh! I love them to death but when we arrived one asked for a private room because she didn´t trust ppl and the other got upset that I didn´t want to spend 100 bucks to go to Brasil, come on lady! Anyway, they are really sweet but I´m just so cheap and frugal and go with the flow, they stress me out a bit. Anyway, so today we went zip lining, hiking, and rock climbing soooooooo coool! I had such a great time! And it wasn´t too expensive. Then we went to the centro and I bought a mate and some yerba so I don´t have to keep using Cristian´s stuff. Iguazu is a really small town, there is a lot of poverty here too. Lots of Brasilian tourism and lots of Germans. Actually we were staying with two women from France in their 50s. I got their email, they said when and if I come to France I can visit them. Maybe I should work in a hostel, I am really good with people and love to meet people from all around the world. Could be cool huh? I would love to live in Iguazu for the summer and work here but then I couldn´t travel. It´s just the temperature and the style of the city I love it. Reminds me of Santa Cruz but warmer, or maybe like Zihuatanejo. It´s sooooooo cool here. But like I said there is poverty and the people that are impovershed have to work for the tourists, its the part I don´t really like. I like coming here but then tourism also can be harmful to the culture and the people who live in the city. Anyway, everything was great! This is my new favorite place in Iguazu! I don´t want to leave and I definitely don´t want to get back on that bus :( Ok well I´ll write when I get back to the city. Love you all! Only 3 more weeks left, next trip is to Uruguay and then Cordoba once again. Besotes!
