We took a travel day and are now in Brazil at the Hotel das Cataratas inside Iguazu Falls park. The falls are amazing, (better than Victoria Falls in Africa). Staying inside the park allows you to walk around the falls before and after hours, when all the tourists are gone. We walked around early in the morning and then took a boat ride that takes you under some of the falls where you definitely get drenched. Then we took a raft thru the class 3 rapids. It was fun...at night we put on our headlamps at about 10:00 pm. because it was a full moon and you can go down to the area called the Devils Throat to see a Lunar Rainbow.
We went to the Argentine side of the falls the following day. We could get right over the edge of some of the falls on the Argentine side but be careful, it is a lot more crowded. You can see a more panoramic view from this side, but we liked staying on the Brazil side inside the park much better.
