Foz do Iguaçu

Wow. The power of Foz do Iguaçu is just phenomenal. It is the single most overwhelming site of mother nature I have ever seen. The pictures fail to capture this extraordinary wonder. The falls, much like Niagra Falls, are a natural border between two countries: Brazil and Argentina; the difference being Iguaçu has 3 times the water volume and covers a greater distance. Each side has its perks and to get a full view of the falls, most people do a day per side. I stayed on the Brazilian side in a hostel called Katerina. While there, I was asked if I wanted to work. I obliged and worked for the night as a server and a bartender! It was really fun and I learned how to make the famous Brazilian drink called Caiparinha! It was funny because everyone I served asked me a ton of questions concerning the area. Instead of giving them advice, I would have to point them in the direction of another employee, which would often inspire the question of how long I myself had been there. It was so funny for me to see their expressions when I would say I arrived that day. They were always shocked and curious. It was pretty fun. 
The most unexpected perk of the falls was all of the wildlife. I saw rainforest racoons, butterflies, birds, monkeys, lizards, huge fish and a toucan!! I have always wanted to see a toucan! I loved it!
