iguazu falls are truly a sight to see. and it's well deserved to have been chosen as 1 of the 7 new wonders of the world.
puerto canoas hotel is located near the city of puerto iguazu & within walking distance you can see some stores & restaurants. because i was staying in puerto iguazu 1 extra day, the staff hotel, lucas, mentioned about visiting the refugio de animales & a couple of other places. after returning from my visit to the iguazu falls, chela (manager) booked me a driver-for-hire to take me around puerto iguazu the next day. That is how i met ariel, the remisero (taxi driver) who took me to guira oga (refugio de animales), aripuca, bio center, hito 3 fronteras (la costanera), a place where the borders of 3 countries: argentina, brazil, & paraguay meet, & piedras preciosas, a jewelry store where rhodochrosite, the argentinian national stone is sold.
