I know well this money changers from the airports around the world! They usually give lowest exchange rates in the town. In Brazil they will charge enormous commision. Try to bring reaais from abroad or change just little amount for the initial expenses. The rate on the free market is 2.3 reais for one USD.
I arrived to Iguazu Falls. Do not be confused – I declared I am going to unknown to me North Brazil but I just turned south! Well, you know that I am great fan of waterfalls. I always say Iguazu is the nicest waterfall in the world. I saw him more then 20 years ago, the walkways on the Argentinian side were destroyed by flood. How can I miss the opportunity to see my favourite again?
Paudimar Youth Hostel lies between the town and the waterfall. It is nice place, worth to recommed. I pay 66 reais for twin room with good breakfast. They have even irregular complimentary bus from the main town-fall road, but I was walkink these 2 km on foot… City bus to the junction will cost you 2,10 reais. Entry to the Bazilian park is like 10 USD…
Of course in the afternoon I went to the fall – Brazilian side – to enjoy the beauty of Iguazu. It is still amazing, powerful and exciting! I can´t see any changes – only the color of the water is different – white and silver this summer (it was like a cocoa years ago)… I stayes there till the evening enjoying the beauty of nature…
