Chasing Waterfalls: A Day Trip to Iguazu Falls 🌍💦

When I initially planned my trip to Argentina and Brazil, I had no idea about Iguazu Falls. It wasn't until later that I discovered this natural wonder, and despite the tight schedule, I couldn't resist a day trip from Buenos Aires to see it. Many thought it was a crazy idea, but I was determined!

I found same-day return tickets and flew early in the morning to Iguazu Airport, a surprisingly modern and well-maintained place. From there, I took a cab to Iguazu National Park. Due to flooding last year, the Devil’s Throat was closed, but the superior and inferior trails were open.

I kicked off with the thrilling boat ride (you might have seen my recent video), an unforgettable experience! Then I explored the inferior and superior trails, spending the entire day marveling at the breathtaking falls. Walking just inches above the massive waterfalls on the superior trail was surreal.

Did you know that Iguazu Falls is a natural wonder of the world and one of the largest waterfall systems globally? It’s actually taller than Niagara Falls and nearly twice as wide, with 275 individual falls spread out in a horseshoe shape over nearly two miles. It straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil, offering unique perspectives from each side. The roar of the water and the mist created by the falls are so powerful that they can be heard and felt from miles away. It’s no wonder that Iguazu means "big water" in the indigenous Guarani language! Plus, it’s been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the 1980s, recognized for its outstanding natural significance and beauty.

At the end of the day, I flew back to Buenos Aires, exhausted but exhilarated. If you ever get the chance, don't miss out on this incredible experience! 🌍💦✈️
