We made it to Iguazu Falls! Well, sort of ... We really did, but let me explain. The waterfall is on the Iguazu River which separates Argentina and Brazil. (And Paraguay is nearby ... more on that below.) So our guide picks us up at the Argentine airport ... and, horrors, we don't have visas to enter Brazil! Yo es stupido! But our guide, Francis, says not to worry, and when we approach the Brazilian checkpoint, he just drives straight through and no one stops us! No scary men with machine guns or anything! We've snuck into Brazil! I guess I'm an illegal immigrant. Boy, talk about the need to secure the border ...
So anyway, we drive to the Brazilian side of the falls and get this picture, and a couple more. Then we head back to the Argentinian side, where we are staying, and tomorrow I'll post photos from this side (much more up-close-and-personal).
And you see the most interesting wildlife! This is a quati, which I think is coati in English.
Ain't he cute? What a trip. First guanacos, then penguins and seals, and now quati!
A shot of the "three borders" monument where the 3 countries meet. (Paraguay, notoriously corrupt and dangerous, was deemed too risky to enter.)
