As I got closer I knew that I would like it, was to enter the province of Misiones, north of Argentina, and recognize the landscape, the earth. Green, red. I already had previously lived, mainly Green, for many months. With one big difference: population. Well here we live better, we're in Argentina. Better houses, better cars, no mangy dogs are emaciated and die under age children do not die ... there is infrastructure. I got off the bus in Puerto Iguazu after 19 hours and a splendid smile
took over me. I suddenly knew that part of the world want to live: hot and humid areas ... the tropics, subtropics. On the way to foot to the hostel, 7 minutes, I went through my mind the whole trip was a time machine, I knew why I could not live in Chile, by the wind, in Bolivia, for dismissing the height ... I went places. And by the same process defining where I would spend my next years ... I sweated in that short distance, was rich, I was pleased, each drop a memory, each step 100 km. America, the Caribbean, the Amazon turned to me, is made present. The sweat, the smell after rain, getting wet are chill, the skin tan, relaxation habits. light and shadows. The day, night ... warm, beautiful. What a great final adventure. Perfect, Iguazú, wild side, Buenos Aires, urban side. What I was looking town and country, nature-polis. This duality, this complementarity, this need of mine to the two environments. Falls and BA. Two perfect places to end this long.
Iguazu large water Nature has endowed this corner of the world with two rivers, Iguazú and Paraná, A Land subsidence in the first allowed to flow at different levels ie, through a waterfall, magnificent, huge, endless. Getting over the waters, feel the fine drip onto the skin, the cloud of rising water 70 meters to cool to the visit is a gift that nature offers us and we must not despise.
animals are gone too, helicopters and tourism, which did not fuck the rest, please, it's so cute and yet so accessible it's scary. The Falls Iguazú is another jewel of the Earth, by volume of water, extent by the noise they cause, by the surrounding landscape is a feast for the senses. Access is a path of butterflies of different sizes and colors, accustomed to humans will land on the hands or arms. To them on the tour, flirt with the visitor up to the Garganta del Diablo, the largest of the waterfalls and spectacular part. 
target no mistake! If you come around here stayed on the Argentine side, Puerto Iguazu, 30 000 inhabitants and a haven of peace with a noisy disco for the night. Side Brazil, however is a large mole, with skyscrapers, 300 thousand inhabitants and security rather dubious. What's visit, the two sides of the waterfall, Brazil and Argentina, change the perspective, change the look. Argentina are at the top of the falls, I splashed, from Brazil you go away and win in perspective.
Three Borders, many races I've ever said my morbid fascination for this type of locations. Argentina and Brazil Paraguay separated by two rivers. Three countries that can go in an hour, if the Brazilians let you pass. Three cities, three worlds, lots of movement. Ciudad del Este, Commercial full of Brazilian spending-the second highest level of trade free-busy world, striped and exhausting; Foz de Iguaçu giant, Lebanese, Chinese, German, Japanese and Brazilians make up its population naturalmante, Puerto Iguaçu, the quiet, can not grow in the regulations prohibits major buildings that the height of trees. Thanks.
Itaipu Dam, the singing stone That means in Guarani. I will put aside all critical environmental and humanitarian-that she should have and there are thousands, and focus on the work as a paradigm human being.
The Itaipu dam, which contains the waters of the Parana River, is considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world, next to the Panama Canal and Golden Gate in San Francisco. It is not a joke, is a massive engineering project, the largest producer of hydropower in the world, a monster that supplies 95% of energy from Paraguay and 25 of an economic giant like Brazil. When you're at it again perceive the guy who is the man and the greatness you can create.
