This was the bus I took on the way there. They are all about the same model.
Sunrise on the bus!
DAY ONE! I did the upper circuit and devils throat trails.
All the paths were kinda like this.
This is a Coati. They were all over the place, and super cute!
There were lots of Butterflies!
Sooo Pretty! Views from the Upper circuit.
I took a complementary train to the "Devils throat". Once I got off the train, there was a nice little walk to the actual falls.
Views from the Devils throat!
Keep in mind, this is during a drought.
There's my bestest travel buddy!
Guinea Pigs!
DAY TWO! I did the lower circuit and San Martin Island trails, then a nature trail called Sendero Macuco. I met some people from Australia on my way there, that I did the lower circuit and island with. There were a lot of foreigners at Iguazu. The majority of the people at my hostel were European or Australian, and there was another girl from Texas in my room! I met some pretty cool people there!
Views from the lower ciurcuit! It covers pretty much the same falls as the upper circuit, but it's towards the bottom of the falls.
Thats the Devils throat, from a distance. the left side is Brazil.
Trail to the free boat to San Martin Island!
Views from the Island!
The sun was bright haha.
There were a lot of these on the island.
And these too.
That's the boat.
There's a Coati, digging through the trash! He's smart though, he picked the organic trashcan.
A walking stick!
I don't remember what these guys were called, but they are huge rodents!
Theres another one. And a Coati in the background. 
Coatis! They were everywhere!
At this point it was about noon on my second day at the park, and I had already seen all of the falls. I went to the visitors center and read all of their displays, then asked someone if there were any good nature trails I can take that I hadn't already done. She recommended Sendero Macuco, which was a 7KM trial (there and back), that was supposed to be good for wildlife.
Notice the beware of snakes sign in the top right corner. They also handed me a pamphlet about what to do if you are attacked by a puma or jaguar...haha. Not gonna lie, I was a little nervous about that.
At the end of the hike there was a little waterfall.
MONKEYS!
This is a Giant Ant. I read about them in the visitors center...aparently they live alone. As you can see compared to my hand, they are HUGE for an ant.
This is the hostel I stayed in...it was really nice for really cheap! Too bad it wasn't summer...I would have liked making use of that pool!
This is what a lot of Puerto Iguazu looked like...it kinda reminded me of Caribbean countries. 
The bus ride back was so pretty!
The bus ride back was so pretty!
It was such a great trip!
