I've made it to Iguazu. I came for the waterfalls but I'm entranced by the butterflies, there are so many of them in so many different sizes, shapes and colours. I've even managed to photograph some of them, in fact, one became so attached to me that it hitched a lift on my elbow for about an hour - I didn't realise my sweat tasted that good!
I've also seen coatis, lizards, fish in the rivers and birds, all of which I can't identify but I have photographed. The one thing I didn't get was the dragonfly. Dragonflies in South America are enormous and very brightly coloured, today's was an incredible purple-red and about four inches long.
I'm going back tomorrow to see the Devil's (or Giant's) Throat and go on the jungle train. After Ecuador, this has been lovely.

The animals went in two by two...

We saw a small crocodile in the river on the way to the Devil's throat, plus a freshwater turtle and a Capybara plus loads of birds including a Toucan so do watch out for them too. Also humming birds in Puerto Iguazu.
If you get chance - head down to the point where the three countries meet. Just follow the main road out of town for about a mile.
It's a great place.
