This past weekend we took our first Holy Cross trip to Iguazu Falls–one of the most incredible, stunning, and beautiful locations in Argentina (and I’d venture to say the whole world). There is no better word to describe these falls than impresionante…I mean look at the images below. Most people would assume I’m standing in front of a green screen. But the huge crashing falls, blue sky, and perfect rainbow were all real. I swear.
While it may not officially be considered one of the 10 Wonders of the World, it should be…and I recommend everyone adding it to their bucket list. The national park offers a variety of trails to explore. You can get up close and personal with the falls…and attempt to capture the stunning views through the lens of a camera.
However, my favorite part of the whole day was definitely the 20 minute boat ride into the falls. Life jackets on and cameras packed away, we got absolutely blasted by the waters of Iguazu. Before getting on the boat, our tour guide said, “prepare to get a light shower“…as you can guess, a gross underrepresentation of how wet we were about to get.
Without a doubt, this was an absolutely wonderful trip and I can’t wait for our next two Holy Cross trips to Salta and Mendoza later this semester.
And seriously, don’t forget to add Iguazu Falls to that bucket list of yours…I promise you won’t regret it.
Talk to you real soon!
Besos,

This week I learned…
1.) that 18 hour bus rides are significantly less painful than 25 hour long bus rides.
2.) that good wifi should not be expected at hostels.
