Tres Fronteras

Today we walked to the Hummingbird garden in the rain, but it was closed. So we walked about a km west of town, Puerto Iguazu, to a lookout point. From there you can see the lower Iguazu river join the Parana river. Across the Iguazu river is Brazil; on their point of land is a green and yellow marker. Looking west across the Parana river we saw the marker with the colours of Paraguay, red, white and dark blue. Behind us was of course the light blue and white Argentine one. We realized that what we´d been looking at on the horizon, from our hotel room was Paraguay.
