The Argentina side of Iguazu – drones not allowed

Photo from the top of Iguazu Falls – an area called the Devil’s throat.

My boyfriend and I ventured to the Argentina side of Iguazu National Park after our morning flight from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu. We had approximately 6 hours to explore the park upon our 11AM arrival.

We took the train ride through the Amazon to the top part of the falls. We walked along the Iguazu River (according to Wikipedia).

While it was a great view from the top (first photo),. We decided to fly the drone off the falls, but quickly got yelled at for doing so. We would get yelled at 2 more times at different occasions for flying it throughout the day. After the top of the falls view, we made our way back and decided to do the hike which lead us to the bottom of the falls.

We stopped to enjoy some of the smaller waterfalls along the way. There was nobody around so we decided to bust out the drone anyway. #dronepic

Up next, boat ride! This ride takes you to both sides of the falls through the rapids on the Argentina side. We were informed we would be getting a nice shower during the ride.

Justin made a huge mistake by telling me that one rain jacket was sufficient for both of us. Why on earth he thought that, nobody will ever know. Given it was his dumb mistake, I was the one who got to wear our one rain jacket. Notice my hair is dry in this next picture 🙂 I guarantee he’ll never make that mistake ever again.

The boat ride was much longer than the stated 12-15 minutes. We went to the left side of the falls, right side, and then back to the left side.

Another mistake was only wearing shorts and a tank top. I was quite cold being wet as the sun setting. We sat at the bottom of the bus this time as we went back to meet our taxi driver, Tió Tony (Uncle Tony), who would eventually take us to the Brazil side.
