Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, and Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil: Iguazu Falls here we come!

I’d been excited about visiting Iguazu Falls, the enormous collection of spectacular waterfalls that straddle the Argentine/Brazilian border, from the minute I planned this trip.

There were good flight options on Aerolíneas Argentinas from the close-to-downtown AEP airport in Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazú.
