Toucan up close and personal |
Since we had expected to spend 2 days exploring Parque Nacional Iguazú and only needed one, we went back to tourist information to look for other ideas. There isn´t much to do here, but they did recommend a wildlife conservation shelter and an orchid garden.
The animal shelter rescues jungle animals that are injured, illegally captured for trade found during border crossings, etc. They seem to have a good conservation biology program and it gave me the opportunity to see many of the endemic fauna up close.

The orchid gardens were nothing to write home about, but they did have a lot of hummingbirds. We were happy that they were free because the visit would not have been worth any money.

Now I am preparing for my 18 hour bus ride to Buenos Aires. I leave at 5:00 pm and arrive at 10:00 a.m.
