You guys, it’s time! I’m fresh off the plane from another amazing South American adventure (this time to Brazil with TAM Airlines!!) and I can’t wait to share everything I’ve seen, learned, experienced and enjoyed. It was an epic trip to say the least, filled with landscapes, beautiful animals, insanely colorful cities, amazing food and lots of sunshine... and it all started in Iguazu Falls.
Iguazu Falls, one of the 7 new wonders of the world, is seriously something that should not be missed. The falls are breathtaking, inspiring, and powerful. We kicked off the trip with a round of caipirinhas and got down to business. This time around, I was traveling with some old friends and a some new ones!
While in Iguazu, we experienced the falls from multiple vantage points including a river safari! We walked along the mile long path on the Brazilian side and made our way towards Devil’s Throat (one of the most epic falls ever!) Rainbows, mist and sunshine make for scenery that will never be forgotten. The falls are in a national park which doesn’t open to the public until 9am… but lucky for us, we were staying in one of the only hotels inside the park premise so we were fortunate enough to have a private tour of the falls without any other tourists! {A mega plus to staying at Hotel Das Cataratacs}
Hotel Das Cataratas is a beauty - pink with white trim, each morning you wake up with a view of the falls and more times than not, a full rainbow. The food was superb, service was excellent and the pool was a dream. The hotel has a beautiful colonial vibe and you’re never going to want to leave! Oh and the food… Iguassu was only the start of 10 days of glorious meal after glorious meal!
There were grilled hearts of palm salad, freshly caught fish, an abundance of fresh coconuts and a handful of delicious caipirinhas. It was truly a perfect beginning to this #onlyinsouthamerica adventure.
A big thank you to Fabio, the general manager of Hotel Das Cataratacs, Brazil Nuts and of course TAM Airlines for making my stay in Iguassu more magical than I could have imagined! Take a peek at some images below…
Thanks for sharing, I love Brazil.
Goodness. This seems to be too good to be true! ABSOLUTELY picture perfect!
This is breathtaking! What an incredible place.
Wow - spectacular! I've added it to my bucket list.
I LOVE Iguazu Falls! So insanely surreally beautiful. I actually never made it over to the Brazil side so it's wonderful to see it from that perspective. If you ever get a chance to go back again, go to the Argentine side. It's a completely different perspective - almost like a different set of falls from what I've been told. AND you can go up to the top edge of Devil's Throat and look down, as well as go to the bottom of a number of other falls.
