Back safely on land at the park cafeteria where we had a late lunch.


We then headed back to Puerto Iguazú and then onto Argentinian migration before heading to the Brazil side of the border.


Crossing Tancredo Neves Bridge over the Iguazú River. The colour of the bridge changed from the blue & white of Argentina to the green & yellow of Brazil at the half-way and official border point.


And were then stamped into Brazil, right next to the stamps from our visit in September last year.


We then continued onto the entrance of Iguaçu National Park to purchase our tickets. There was a poster of the tri-border area between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay where the Iguazu River and Paraná River meet. The Amérian Portal del Iguazú Hotel visible on the far left and where we would be staying tomorrow night.


Eduardo showing us the location of the other national parks in Brazil. The country has a total of 72 national parks.


Outside the Belmond Hotel das Cataratass after driving into the park. The Portuguese colonial style hotel opened in 1958 and is the only one inside the park.


While the Argentinian side offers an intimate experience with views up close to the falls, the Brazilian side gives a good overall panoramic view.


It was great to see the falls from a different perspective and where we had just visited in the river boat.


A rainbow with the low afternoon sun and continuous mist from Devil's Throat (Garganta do Diabo).


People walking out on the Garganta do Diablo Walkway.


The walkway lead out over the water and close to the mouth of Devil's Throat (Garganta do Diabo) for more breathtaking views.


And the beautiful double rainbow haloing the rushing waters.


The late afternoon sun accentuating the rich colours of the water and foliage.


Some not very shy Coatis sniffing around for something to eat!


Looking down for one last view of the breathtaking and surreal beauty of the falls before heading back to the carpark.


And meeting up with Eduardo for the drive to the city of Foz do Iguaçu.


Eduardo then dropped us off at Hotel Rafain Centro where we thanked him for the amazing and memorable day at the falls.

Our room for our one night stay in Brazil for $66 including breakfast.


And the view from the window of the city below at dusk.


For dinner we headed to Yuu Asian Bar which Eduardo had earlier recommended for some good sushi.


Some Jasmine tea to start.


Followed by a feast of various sushi and sashimi served on a bamboo boat.


And an Açaí bowl to share for dessert at the end of a memorable day 4.
