After 3 days at sea, my excitement levels were rising after I was asked to escort one of the ship's overland tours to the amazing Iguassu Falls – one of the natural wonders of the world.
So, from Salvador we flew to Rio, and then flew on to Iguassu itself, where we were taken to our lovely hotel, the Hotel Das Cataratas – the only hotel actually within the National Park on the Brazilian side. We were able to view a bit of the falls from the hotel entrance – a tantalising glimpse of what was to come.
