Given our flight schedules we didn’t have that much time in Port Iguazú, but there isn’t that much to see or do besides the falls. On our arrival evening we trekked over to Supermercado Capicua for water (since the local water is iffy for drinking) plus breakfast items. Unfortunately, we never got a chance to try the closest supermarket to us (Supermarket EOS 1) as it closed from 8pm on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday.

After our hikes in the heat the next morning we returned to the apartment and were grateful the place hadn’t warmed up too badly. We popped into the mini mart next door for beers and relaxed while watching the end of Six Nations rugby match and the Manchester City game. Then I took a nap!

Later in the afternoon Eric walked to the Intersección de los ríos Paraná e Iguazú for views of Brazil and Paraguay. Worth it? Eh. There were some interesting graffiti pieces to check out enroute at least.

I let him cool off a bit in the air con before we walked to dinner.

Restaurante La Rueda 1975 was busy and we were lucky it’s so large because we got a table even without a reservation. Thankfully they also had air conditioning, as the afternoon rains had really increased the humidity! We chose a bottle of Chandon sparkling rosé and Eric ordered sorrentinos (ravioli-like with cheese and ham) with the scarparo al uso nostro sauce (tomato cream, ham, and pesto) which was great together. His favorite meal of the trip.

I decided to order two appetizers instead of one main course, the carpaccio and chorizo. Both were very good. The carpaccio came with a mound of peppery greens and sliced cheese – probably provolone? Service was a bit scattered as large groups came in after us. It still felt like a reasonable price for a ‘fancy’ place in town.
