We were considering it, but to tell you the truth, neither of us have any real desire to see Iguazu. (I almost feel sheepish saying this, but) we are both more interested in experiencing urban areas -- I'm sure the falls are quite awe-inspiring, but I would rather spend my time having coffee on a crowded noisy sidewalk cafe, or shopping for things that I probably don't really need.
We're hitting Punta Del Este because we want to stay at the same hotel/casino that they gambled in on Amazing Race (sad, I know!).
