One of the largest waterfall systems in the world, and probably also one of the most impressive ones, visiting the Iguazú Falls is an incredible and unforgettable experience. Seeing those ridiculous amounts of water gushing down into the depth of the waterfalls is something truly overwhelming, and the beauty of the panoramic view over the more than 20 falls is unequaled. Although some might have their preference for either of the two sides, in my opinion, each one has its own perks, and both of them are definitely worth visiting.

How will I manage without the tremendous hospitality of these people, who went above and beyond to make my stay in this country as unforgettable as possible? How will I ever find something that could replace my beloved Açaí for breakfast, Tapioca for lunch or Mandioca in any form at any time of the day?

Rio de Janeiro, the city I fell in love with, the very second I arrived.
After an initial culture shock and the following acclimatization in São Paulo, I took a 4-hour bus along the cost that would bring me close to the first stop on my little island hopping tour: Ilhabela.
After only 4, activity-filled, days in Buenos Aires, I packed my backpack and was off to Brazil for one month of traveling through and exploring this country that has always been on my travel wish list. First stop after Ezeiza, the international airport of BA: SÃO PAULO. I heard from many people and read in some blogs that you can’t really spend more than a couple of days in this city. It being the Brazilian capital of skyscrapers, banks and big companies with fancy security guards outside, comparable to Frankfurt in Germany, the city was not supposed to offer much for tourists and travelers. But somehow, I managed to spend a whole week here …
