SATURDAY, MAY 2, 2015 - WE VISIT IGUAZU FALLS ON THE ARGENTINEAN SIDE

Carlitos met us at the front door of the hotel at the appointed time.  We all had with us our passports and the proof of payment of the required Argentina departure fee.  We passed through various check points that required those papers be shown to the Argentinean authorities. Finally, we arrived at the Parque Nacional Iguazu.

This is Carlitos.

There were small trains that transported visitors to the various areas of the parks.  Carlitos suggested which ones we should take and then told us where to meet him after we had viewed the area.

There were walkways extending out into the water.

Some showed evidence of a time when the area was flooded

 and the walkways were cut off and never used again.

This racoon-looking animal is called Quatis.  They were very plentiful in the park.

With the conclusion of our morning and seeing this park, we traveled back to the opening gates where Carlitos suggested that we might want to go for lunch.  He said there was a buffet in the park, so we decided to try it.  It was not wonderful even though there were many different types of meat and other dishes.  The cost ended up being about $40 per person US dollar.

After we finished our lunch Carlitos mentioned a dinner (dance) show that  was held every Saturday night.  It is called Rafain Churrascaria Show.  I hesitated; Sylvia suggested it would be fun, probably like Dancing With the Stars.  So we all agreed to go.  Carlitos arranged for our tickets and returned to our hotel to pick us up for the show.  The food was very plentiful but much like buffet food is.  The show was okay if it had been much shorter.  It was an experience that I would not want to repeat.

We ended the evening making plans for our day on Sunday at the falls on the Brazilian side.
