We arrived in the town of Puerto Iguazu nice and early after another very comfortable overnight bus journey. Puerto Iguazu is the service town for the Argentinian side of world famous Iguazu Falls, and is a pretty little town in it´s right. It was nice to arrive in such a touristy place during low season though, as it quickly became clear that we would have our pick of the town's many accommodation options, and it meant we could haggle a great rate.
After trying a few of the places dotted around the small town we ended up spending three nights in the Colonia Hotel, which was nice and central and very cheap. Since we´d arrived early in the morning we just decided to relax for the rest of that day, rather than trying to organise getting into the national park that day. It meant we could just stroll about the nice town and also get the general information needed to explore the falls at our own leisure, as opposed to taking a crappy organised tour.
So the next day we got up early and just hopped on a local bus to the park (only 18km away I think), paid the entrance fee, got a park map and spent the whole day strolling around.
