Day 41. Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. 26.2.25

"Today enjoy a half day tour of the Brazilian side of the falls.You will be collected from your hotel and taken to the Visitors Centre. From here board one of the Park Authority’s tourist buses and enter the National Park. Equipped with panoramic windows, the buses are designed to maximise your views of the falls, while the walkways and steps provide you with great panoramic views of the Argentinian side of the falls. Views of the Floriana Falls, the Devil’s Gorge Canyon and the Iguazu River are spectacular and are guaranteed to impress."

The views of the falls from the Brazilian side were quite spectacular.  We probably enjoyed this side more as we got there a bit earlier before the crowds and the temperature was a bit cooler. Also the pathway had more shade today.

Started with a bus ride. 

















We have a 2 hour flight from Iguazu to Rio De Janeiro in the late afternoon. So we elected to visit the bird park before going to the airport.
























Stunning 






Managed to get bird photos on while waiting at the airport. 


"Known as the ''Cidade Maravilhosa'', or Marvellous City, Rio never fails to amaze with its sandy beaches, carefree lifestyle and unparalleled natural beauty. As the capital of Brazil until 1960, Rio is today one of the most culturally and economically prominent cities in the country, receiving more tourists than any other part of Brazil."







Lots of macaws.

The actual flight was pretty good but Latam Airlines was a bit amateurish today but that's a story for another day as we got in very late to our hotel due to a 70 minute drive to only travel 25 kms 🤦‍♀️. Rio is preparing for Carnival.
Part of our huge suite.

We are staying at the Widsor Leme Hotel in Copacabana.
