A Little Bit of Macuco...

Yesterday morning, we were on the Macuco Nature Trail by 8am... we walked all the way to the end (about an hour) without seeing any other people! It was a lovely walk thru an Argentinian rainforest!

At the end of the walk, we found this lovely little falls. We sat here a little while to enjoy the beauty and take a few photos, before heading back up the trail.Then we took the lower trails to see different views of the falls. This one is a nice one to show you how tall some of the falls are!! That's me at the bottom.At the bottom of the trails, we took a ferry over to the island (the land on the left in the picture below) and walked to a few lookouts. Then it was time for our speedboat ride... if you click on this picture, you can better see the boat in the bottom middle. We went on one like this and it takes you very close to the falls here and in a couple more spots and at the end of the trip, everyone is soaking wet (even if you are wearing a pancho or raincoat, somehow your clothes underneath are still soaked). I think the boat ride was Mark's favorite thing for the day. Then yesterday evening, we split a taxi with another couple at the hotel and went in to the nearest city here in Argentina for some dinner and a little shopping and looking around. This spot below is a place where you are standing by the river and looking at both Brazil & Paraguay.
