Iguazu!

Agree you don't need a helicopter at Iguazu. I think just being there walking the trails and seeing over the waterfall or taking a raft up the River is all you need. Doesn't get much better!
Totally agree. It might be cool to do that one time to take in the entire view. The amount of water there is incredible!
 
A few weeks ago, I went to the Iguazu Falls and let me tell you, I was absolutely blown away! Wow, that scenery is just breathtaking, nothing compares to the feeling you get when you see it. We stayed for 5 days and did everything, including visiting the Brazilian side of the falls. And let me tell you, it’s true what they say: “In Brazil you see them, but in Argentina you feel them.” If you’re short on time, you won’t miss out too much, the Brazilian side is nice, but it doesn’t compare to the Argentine side.
Also, I have to mention that the people in Iguazu city are super friendly and welcoming. Everywhere we went, they spoke Spanish, English, and Portuguese, since a lot of Brazilian tourists come through. It wasn’t quite the same in Brazil.

If you’re still hesitating about going, don’t think twice, it's totally worth it! Here are some photos of this amazing place.

Wow! That destination is on my list too! I’ll be going this year. What do you think is the best month to visit? I’ve heard it gets really hot in the summer.
I went in March, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Every day, the temperature was between 33°C and 37°C (91°F-99°F),way too hot! It’s better to go in June, July, or August when the weather is a bit more bearable. It’s still warm, but at least the temperature drops a few degrees.
 
Iguazu is an incredible place, truly a natural wonder. The waterfalls are absolutely breathtaking, and the landscape surrounding them is imposing. People say that the Argentine side of the falls is the best, and I have to agree, it’s simply majestic. I’m planning to return soon to bring some friends along, as I know they’ll be blown away by the beauty of the place.
The only thing that stood out to me in the city was that there’s no SUBE card system, and you have to pay in cash when you get on the bus. The fares range from 1500 to 7000 ARS, depending on where you’re going. Also, there’s no Uber service there, but despite that, the public transport system works fine. Still, I feel like they’re a bit behind in that regard. I asked the locals how they get around, and most of them rely on motorcycles, I can vouch for that; practically everyone has one.

But that's just a small detail. I highly recommend visiting Iguazu, it’s an amazing place that everyone should experience at least once.
