Day 30 9th December 2006, Return to the Jungle - Buenos Aires to Iguassu

Having enough time in the city we jumped in our taxi for the airport, set with Insect repellent for our second visit to the Jungle. After asking for the J Newbury airport the taxi ground to a halt as apparently it was closed for repair, after a quick check the repairs had been completed and the airport was actually open, phew.

The flight to Iguassu took a couple of hours and we were greeted by the humid heat of the jungle, after a short but expensive taxi ride we arrived at one of the luxury hotels we are treating ourselves to every now and again, after roughing it for a while we were more than ready for a stay at a 5 star. The Sheraton is one of two hotels with a view of Iguassu falls, the other being in Brazil. The falls lie on the border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.

The view from our room was stunning, the air filled with the sound of tropical birds with the thundering of the falls in the background.

After spending the afternoon sunbathing and swimming at the pool we ventured onto one of the many trails around the falls and were lucky enough to see a pair of wild Toucans

Highlights: The magnifient falls and seeing Toucans in the wild
