The bus ride from Salta to Puerto Iguazú took us 24 long hours. Even though, we chose to travel with a more comfortable (and also more expensive) Cama-bus, we were really happy to finally get off the bus. We didn't like the hostel in Puerto Iguazú, so we decided to cross the boarder to Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) earlier.

There we found a really nice hostel called Favela Chic. Nick, the owner, was helping us a lot with organizing our stay and gave us really good tips and recommendations.
We also met a lot of funny people there to hang out with and so our first few days in Brazil were just great.
Apart from the waterfalls, Nick recommended us to visit Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, which is also called "The supermarket of South America". You can get everything there, from all kinds of electronics to alcohol and drugs. We took the public bus on a Saturday and it was a 1,5h ride for only 20 km because there was an enormous traffic jam at the boarder as all the Brazilians go shopping there on the weekends. (For all the Austrians: it felt like IKEA at the SCS on a Saturday but much bigger… :-) )
As we wanted to see the waterfalls on the Argentinean side, we had to cross the boarder once more and spent one more day in Argentina at this spectacular place, but let the pictures speak for themselves…
