Experiencing Iguazu Falls from Brazil and Argentina

Warning - This is going to be a long one..  Leaving the chilly winds of Patagonia behind we headed north to humidity of Iguazu Falls, Argentina. and just like that we went from rugged mountains to a lush tropical rainforest. We checked into our hotel and after a quick refresh headed out for our New Years Eve dinner.  The next morning after a hotel buffet breakfast we headed to Brazil. The hotel arranged for us a wonderful driver who helped us cross the border. We had applied and gotten our evisas before coming.  Yes, US citizens need a visa to enter Brazil.   We didn't know it then but this driver was going to become a lifesaver. Our first hiccup was at the border. At one of the border patrol stations in Patagonia our passports had not been stamped.Thankfully the woman was understanding and said that that station has received complaints in the past and let us through.  We bought tickets at the park and boarded a shuttle that dropped us off at the starting point....
