Day 33 Tuesday 11th February 2020. Crossing the Argentine Border/Iguassu Falls.

It seems that not everybody slept well last night; there must have been something in the drink! We all received wake-up calls at around 05.45 hrs; breakfast would be from 06.30, and we would all meet by the hotel reception at 07.10 hrs. The weather feels perfect, but we are warned that it will become very hot as the day progresses.

There are around thirty taking part in this three night “Overland.” This really is the interior of Brazil/Argentina and is a welcome interlude from all the coastal ports of call. We are now waiting at the Argentina border before continuing a further 20 km to the Falls.

First of all, we would drive, then walk to a railway station from where we would eventually take a train to Devil’s Gorge. This is the most intense of the several Falls. To access this part of the Falls, one had to walk around a little less than a kilometre to reach the falls themselves.

Below, are illustrations taken during the day, which ended up in a boat with one of the Falls drenching several of us to the skin!
