Crossing the border from Brazil to Argentina, I experienced a unique perspective of the Iguazu Falls.
On the tour bus that crossed the border, my companions hailed from the UK, Germany, and Israel. All of us needed to hand over our passports, but as the only person from Taiwan, I was also required to provide a visa. It was at this moment that the reality of 'international politics' became clear to me. However, our passport is still quite powerful. No visa is needed for Chile and Peru!
Compared to the Brazilian side, the Argentine side of Iguazu felt like a hidden world waiting to be discovered. The entire hiking journey took about 6 hours, revealing more of the waterfall's source and details. The highlight of the hike was the Devil's Throat; the volume and force of water here were even more impressive than on the Brazilian side! Standing in front of the falls, I felt an overwhelming sensation, as if my soul could be washed away.
Due to the lower water levels that day, I couldn't fulfill my wish to cross the falls by boat. Hopefully, I will be able to achieve this dream in the future.
