Iguazu Falls: Nature's Wonder In Argentina
You've heard that you need a whole day to visit Iguazu falls on that Argentinian side but still don't know where to start? well you came to the right place. In this video I will give you a step-by-step guide on how to visit iguazu falls on the Argentinian side starting by the cheapest way to get there what to do when you get there including Devil's Falls and the trails as well as a surprise on how you can use the same day to go to visit Tres Fronteras just in time for sunset. so keep watching let's go... I am still in Argentina and today I am going to visit the Argentinian side of the falls now because I had to work in the morning and I have to go tomorrow to Buenos Aires I only have a limited time when you're here if you want to go give it a full day based on what I've read online you need a full day but for me I take what I get so I had to go get money from the ATM they charged me ten dollars to withdraw which I did because unlike Brazil Argentina's situation is a bit different I'm going to explain a little bit later but it's safer here to have cash on you at least to help you get going instead of like in Brazil I survived the entire trip for two and a half weeks with just my credit card so yeah I'm waiting for the bus that goes there I am really hoping it won't take long so that it saves me a little bit of time to see the Falls even more oh and there you have it the cheapest way to get to the falls is to use the bus that runs every 30 minutes so you have to plan accordingly it was 1 300 pesos when I was there but this might have changed because of the economy so make sure you check before you go yeah so I'm here now I'm actually relaxed I don't have that much time but I'll do my best in here I don't really worry so much about that I just now need to find where to buy the tickets the ticket counters are pretty close to where the bus drops you so you'll see them and if you don't see them just ask someone keep in mind that there are large groups of people who come there so you might have a queue but in my case there was no queue and it just paid here you can pay with your card you don't have to have the cash I spent about 14 000 pesos but don't take this price in face value check their website because the peso is currently very volatile and if you want to visit the falls the next day keep your ticket because when you come back then you will pay half price [Music] this place is very big as I said you need the whole day here I can already see people leaving so they had good time now because I don't have a lot of time it's 2 30 now the park closes at six that gives me three and a half hours and also there is a trail that closes at 3 P.M the one that way you can go to swim so that's
okay I'll just miss that one the Park's main attraction is devil's throat and that is the one I don't want to miss so I will start with that one and then do anything else that I will have time for and if that's only one I have time for I'll still be grateful because it's amazing and it's a must see so instead of you can either walk to the devil's trail that takes like about three hours or you can take the train or a tram or a bus looks like a tram or something like that I'm not sure I'm gonna find out but that's what I'll take because I want to take less time getting there and the place is very very well marked and you have the map all over the place I've taken a picture of it but you still see it and I got the train ticket so the train is inclusive in in the ticket price the park price but you do need to get just a ticket to get on the train so the next one lives in at three so in around 20 minutes so I'll go wait for it instead of venturing off and maybe missing it as I said that is the main attraction and the one thing that I really want to do so I'll go there first and whatever extra time I have I'll do something else there are two train stations the main station and the catarata station so you need to be at the catarata station and if you didn't get your train ticket from where I got it you can still get it from here but you have to have it before you make the queue because they check even if you have the whole day here I would suggest doing devil's throat as a first thing when you get there because the trains do stop running at around 3 30 and if you start with the trolls you might run out of time to get on the train [Music][music] This is a very scenic ride as you can see, nature, the fresh air, if you are going to the devils throat, sit on the left side, the view is better we are now officially on the trail to see the waterfalls this bridge that passes by the river you can see the river back there and it's see-through you can actually sit down so if you're afraid of heights or water or both Please Don't Look Down personally this is where I thrive so oh it's such beautiful butterfly sorry it distracted me and I totally forgot what I wanted to say after that but this place is so beautiful look at that oh yeah so that's why people say like if you have to choose between Brazilian side of the falls or Argentinian most people choose Argentinian and you can see why wow I haven't even seen the falls yet and I'm this excited what about when I see the falls yeah but this river is massive look at the width and all the way from the other side where I was at the bridge this is the river so massive but it has very many kilometers of waterfalls so makes sense [Music] I've been enjoying myself so much I forgot that I have limited time and I want to see as much as I can so now I have to rush and yes I'm running on a bridge that has water underneath [Music] this entire walkway is around 1 200 meters 1.2 kilometers and so they have benches because some people will need to rest before they get to their Falls [Music] look at the old bridge it was just separated by some wood [Music] You are about to see God's perfect creation. I'm so excited, let me show you. This is my reaction [Music] this is on another level oh my God so the Brazilian side is like these ones you don't see the devils fall from the Brazilian side but we can see them here it was so far to see from Brazilian side here but here we can see them and the falls that were massive are hidden over there but these are the biggest Falls in all of Iguazu this being the main attraction of the falls will obviously attract a lot of people and it's even very hard to get the best angle because people are just watching it and it's magical so I understand am I spending more time here even if it means that anything else I can hike in waterfalls in many places but how many times swimming pool in just a few minutes seven Wonder one of the seven wonders of national wild those ones together eventually when you manage to pull yourself from the falls and you use the same walkway back where you can go refill your water or sit down there is a some restaurants and some kiosks that you can buy some stuff and there is also the animals [Music] time to get the train back I'm gonna try and make one of the trails but I think it closes at it will close sooner than I get there but I hi [Music] this time so it has the reviews because the river is on this side foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] so yeah I missed the time cut out for the upper circuit which is really nice like you go and see the falls from below but honestly I don't even feel bad because spending that much time at Devil's throat was worth it it's that place is amazing so if you as I said if you're coming here come early because you need a whole day to enjoy this side of the falls and if you're here for two days and you want to see it keep your receipt not receive the ticket because if you have the ticket you come back the following day you only pay 50 so make sure you keep your ticket if you had the whole day unlike me and you have some more time after visiting the devil throat then take one of the trails you've got the choice between a lower circuit upper circuit macuco Trail one of them will actually go to a ferry that will take you to an island that way you can swim and have a picnic so ask on the information desk or the tourist center and see what's best for you so the trails range from 30 minutes to three hours so before you venture into one you have to see if you're able to do it based on time and your effort it because I've got 15 minutes before the train leaves I see the green trail takes 15 minutes and I have 20 minutes before the next train lives here so if I make it to the other side I'll catch the train on the other side because I want to hike a little bit at least so welcome to the green trail so I am not really a fan of like Safari and jungle drives and I've been on some and I enjoyed them obviously because you see Wildlife but it was it like you gotta do that but I do love walking in nature and Hiking so such a place I feel alive and I feel so close to God because I mean he's a nature like things he created some of them fascinating so yeah and then again when you're coming here make sure you wear hiking clothes at least comfortable ones because especially if you're doing the whole day you'll need to be with comfortable shoes light hiking clothes so that you you feel comfortable throughout the day [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you so if you've got time make sure you take one of the trails and if you don't, take at least the green trail it's only 15 minutes once you go back near the entrance at zoo exit restaurants and shops that you can sit and eat or just buy drinks or call yourself with some water or you can also buy souvenirs of different kinds based on things found in the park as well as Trinkets and souvenirs also from the guarani tribe that is one of the indigenous tribes in this northern region of Argentina okay so I actually just found out this tourist information they're usually very helpful I just found out that the train to the devil's throat the awesome Falls the last one is at 3 30 so when you're planning your time if you come in the afternoon plan around that the circuits close at I think 4 30 or 4 40 around there so that people get enough time to go and come out before six because the park closes 10 minutes to six anyway so that's the visitor's information and I'm heading on my way out but honestly this was definitely worth it even if I just got to do one of the activities it's worth it so take more time here trust me you like it to exit the waterfalls just go to where you started buy a bus ticket from the office and stay on the same bus don't get off where you got on because it goes all the way to the tres fronteras [Music] [Music] so I took advantage of the fact that the bus gets all the way here to come to see the sunset but it's hiding behind clouds I'm not I'm not worried because I want to see the three fronts that is Paraguay Brazil and Argentina so I'll show you that so [Music] so welcome to hito Tres Fronteras on the Puerto Iguazu so each side has such a obelisk that marks that is with the colors of the flag that's Argentina blue and white on the other side red white and blue and on the other side it's not as visible you've got Brazil which is yellow and green so yeah you can visit this place basically from either of the three countries yeah and it's easiest for me to visit from Puerto iguazu because the bus is in town while that place in in foz do Iguazu it's actually out of town and you have to take like a cab something I don't know if there are buses but yeah there you go [Music] so this point is so cool because this river separates here so this is Parana yes and this is iguazu and in the middle of it that's Brazil Argentina [Music] this is amazing I can see three countries in one so this is one of the only points in the world where you can do that there are some others I know there's one in Africa on Zambezi River I think it's amazing River yes Victoria Falls one or you can see Botswana Zambia Zimbabwe and I think for which other country Namibia yes so four countries so this one is three countries border it's amazing to see so make sure you get here if you are on Paraguay side you can see it on that side if you're in Brazil you can see it on that side if you are in Argentina like me here you can see it from here and on the Brazilians I see you can take a boat tour actually, I don't know if there's one on this side but there is high chance that there is one somewhere [Music] foreign [Music] the bridge is lit up at night and it seems like people prefer to come here in the evening, there are more people here than when I was getting here and I thought I was late so feel free to come at any time you won't be alone it's a very famous tourist spot so its rare for you to be alone thank you so much for watching this video and join me next time as I go to Buenos Aires and I show you the city that's often referred as to the Europe of South America so see
