Almost as soon as we disembarked, we could see the impressive falls from afar. Shortly thereafter we learned these were just the prelude to what would later come.
We walked on a trail above the river that with each turned revealed another set of waterfalls.
As though these weren't enough entertainment, we still got a laugh out of the Asian tour groups and their never ending photos complete with peace signs. Lots of teammates.
After walking for 45 minutes, we reached the final broadwalk that was built between two sets of waterfalls; you could look down on one (for an adrenaline rush) or up (for an Ansel Adams-like picture).
The humidity did wonders to our hair (see Martin).
After soaking it in, we headed to the snack bar where we made a new friend, who loved soda!
He even took advantage of a scared, unsuspecting tourist when he causally climbed on his vacant chair (looking cute) and preceded to quickly snatch his can of apple juice. He burrowed under the table and then, using his long claws to steady the can, he licked it clean. Sneaky! This innocent tourist wasn't the only victim.
After, we browsed a few gift shops and then went to lunch at the hotel in the park. It looked like it was inspired by a Spanish villa with beautiful tile work, well-kept gardens and bright colored walls. We enjoyed a delicious lunch off the prix fixe menu and bottle of rosé to quench our thirst. (It was about 90 degrees and humid.)
Satisfied, we began our four hour trip back to Asuncion with a quick tour of Cuidad del Este. Enjoyed soup and salad at home before heading to bed.
