During my three-week trip to Argentina, I was on the fence about whether to make the trip to Iguazu Falls. I wasn’t sure if it was worth such a far journey to see a few waterfalls. Boy, was I wrong.

In my final few days, I decided “it’s now or never” and bought my bus tickets. Using two different bus companies, I coordinated a pair of tickets that would allow me to take the 16-18 hour journey overnight and give me a full day—9 am to 4 pm—in the park…which was perfect since that’s really all you need. The buses were clean, comfortable and even served meals.

The falls are spectacular. I’ll never forget the sense of awe I had while reflecting on the beauty and velocity of this natural wonder; and the delight of feeling soft spray cool my sweaty skin.

It’s truly a sight to see for yourself!
