The city of Foz is pretty boring in itself, but the waterfalls
are worth a trans-continental trip on their own !
Interesting facts about the Iguaçu Falls
First pics are from the waterfalls on the Brazilian side:

These cheeky animals were all over the place and are called Coatis.

Next day, same falls but from the Argentinean side.
This park is huge and you can easily spend the day.
I was also lucky with the sunny weather, which made it hard to take bad pictures !

Another nice excursion, which I hadn´t really planned but was well worth it
was the huge Itaipu Dam
This monster can produce an amzing 14GW of energy,
which provides about 95% of the electricity consumed
in Paraguay and 25% of that consumed in Brazil,
and is the most powerful installed dam-generator in the world...
