Puerto Iguazu is actually a border town. The rivers here separate the Argentinian site from Brazil and Paraguay. It is very common to cross the border to the Brazilian site to get a better view at the waterfalls. So although I actually didn´t plan it for my trip, I visited Brazil in the end :D
Whereas you can not really go to the big falls themselves (they are on the Argentinian site of the river), you get a much nicer view at them from the distance. Actually, a much much much nicer view. See for yourself:
With all the rainbows it is almost a bit over the top :D
After the falls I went back to Puerto Iguazu and walked around the town for a bit. You get quite a bit of a South American feeling here. People are very relaxed, there is lots of artwork and graffiti's around the town. The streets, buildings and properties are often a bit run down (though not that much the tourist streets obviously). I later realized that Puerto Iguazu might be the cleanest town of the whole province though :D
The town borders directly the rivers that separate Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. So obviously they made a tourist attraction out of it as well :D
