We started the day early to do a day trip to Argentina 🇦🇷. Although we live close to the border, people around and online had different information of how we needed to get there and what kind of entrance requirements exist.
On the advice of our hotel, we spend 1.5h in the morning waiting for the bus to Argentina which never came. Other drivers explained that this bus is not running due to Covid. We decided to take an Uber to the border and see how it goes. The Brazil side of the border was empty and we could have just walked past it. We asked border patrol if we could just walk to Argentina because there’s no bus. Normally, it’s not allowed to pass this border walking, but this time they didn’t care, stamped our passports, and let us go. We understood that we need to walk 40 minutes on the other side of the river so we could reach the Argentinian side of the border. When we started walking some guy has caught us and got us a taxi to take us to the other side of the bridge. We were told that we need a Covid test to enter Argentina but they allowed us through with just the proof of vaccination. Success.
We spend the day on the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls. They had even more breathtaking views and more paths for hiking. We didn’t regret for a second that we went there.
Oh, and there were a lot of coaties all around us all the time, one of which climbed on the table and ate our coconut 🥥😅 (photo below).
