Antarctic Adventure - Day 24

After overnighting in Buenos Aires, we caught a flight to Iguazu in the north-east of Argentina, and then bussed to the Sheraton Hotel, the only hotel inside Argentina's Iguazu National Park.  The tropical weather was definitely a major change from Antarctica!

After settling into the hotel our group was led on a tour of the "Upper Falls Trail".

Today's tour ended with a boat tour into a waterfall.

This fig tree on the hotel grounds was just loaded with unripe fruit.
