At first, we visited Rio de Janeiro which was in this blog entry.

Today we visited Iguassu Falls in southern Brazil. It was almost 40 degrees Celsius out, but the trails through the park were nicely shaded which was very fortunate.

We encountered numerous wildlife while walking around, colorful birds…

and of course the white Egret

The local raccoon, that loves to meet visitors…

as well as small and large lizards

This guy was almost a meter long! He might have been going after this afternoon snack:

Tomorrow, we will cross the border into Argentina and see the falls from that side and then venture further south again to Buenos Aires.  I wonder what type of food we should try there?
