Garganta del Diablo - Parque Nacional del Iguazù

The debate seems to be over which side of Iguazu Falls is better, Argentina or Brazil. Got two days? See both and don't bother with the debate. The parks in Brazil and Argentina are increadibly excessible. Both sides should be seen as the experience varies at both. Argentina has the up-close Garganta view, and is more intimate with all of the falls. You can get close the falls and enjoy more of the rainforest. There is a nice rainforest trail on the Argentine side as well. On this trail you may see monkeys. Brazil's side of the falls gives you a better panaramic view of the falls. You might have a better shot here at getting the nice rainbows of the falls, and of course there well be coatis everywhere.

Wow! I really want to go now! Did you need a Brazilian visa to go from the Argentina side to the Brazil side?
