Waterfalls of Argentina – Express Urdu

“It can be dangerous to visit two countries without a visa,” the driver replied with a shrug. But there is no Pakistani among them.

Your friend is Pakistani and al-Qaeda is known to both Brazil and Paraguay” I laughed and walked forward. Our driver also shrugged his shoulders and followed.

The driver’s name was Mario and he was a traditional Argentinian ‘clean’ ‘polite’ well-spoken and law-abiding ‘we went with him to see the Iguazu Falls’ Iguazu is a Red Indian word meaning “A lot of water” This city is located in the north of Argentina on the border of Brazil and Paraguay, this city is the culmination of the Amazon, the world’s largest forest.

The Amazon ends here, but as it ends, three hundred and fifty waterfalls are given to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Aguascalientes is also a border of three countries – Brazil on one side, Paraguay on the other and Argentina on the third.

The waterfalls of Iguassu are among the largest waterfalls in the world and they earn the three countries billions of dollars every year. Argentina has built iron “walkways” over the waterfalls in the forest. People come daily’ buy tickets and walk through the walkway’ through the thick forest to reach the top of the waterfalls.

Brazil has launched a helicopter and cruise service on its side. Tourists pay $150 to see the waterfalls from a helicopter and then board a cruise to take a natural shower under the waterfalls, while Paraguay have made caves under the waterfalls and opened hotels and restaurants with the water, so different types of tourism activities are going on in three different countries. There is no strictness on the border.

So tourists travel by taxi from one country to another ‘we arranged for Mario from Buenos Aires (the capital of Argentina)’ he was a professional man ‘he also drove taxis’ hotels and restaurants as well. It also served as a currency exchange. There are 12 daily flights from Buenos Aires to Aguascalientes.

It’s a two-hour flight from the capital to Iguaçu. The city is clean and medium-sized. It’s surrounded by dense forest. The soil is red and sticky. Due to high iron content, the soil is red in color. In the forest there are jackals, leopards, rabbits, deer, rhinos and eagles, so the police do not allow tourists to enter the forest. The road is steep and bumpy.

The air smells like freshly cut fodder. On the way from the airport to the city, there are also villages of Red Indians. The Indians are living a very sad and poverty-stricken life.

In their villages, there is nothing but disease and misery. These people once owned all this land, but then Columbus discovered America. Europeans came and they lost their country. These are now camp-like villages. I live in ‘fruits’ sell wood and plants and look longingly at the glorious life flowing left and right.

On the first day, Mario took us beyond the city to the Paraguayan border. Near the border there was a diamond and precious stone mine. This area is called Wanda. It was agreed to see ‘there is a thick forest above the mine’, there is a dry pond below and there was a mine to the right and left of the pond’ the guide told that precious stone mines are worked only by hands.

Gemstones among the rocks are like honeycombs. These hives are cut out of the stone and the whole is taken out and then it is sold along with the hive. And like the jaws of a crocodile, there were rows of stones embedded in rows, their tips were sticking out and it felt like they were the teeth of the rock, and nature had made these teeth to punish those who disturbed the rest of the rocks. .

There were stones of different colors inside the roofs. When the light fell on them, the eyes were scarred. The guide also told us that the hives are only found where there is a white line in the rock, so the workers just follow the lines and dig the lines to find the hives. After that took it to the showroom.

There were dozens of beehives. We asked the price of one. There were several halls’ also holding valuable jewelry and decoration pieces but they were very valuable’ Mario then took us to the Peruvian border ‘it was a normal fence’ one side had houses built on it’ this was the Argentinian side. ‘The river was flowing with him and on the other side of the river was Paraguay.

We walked along the border and came down to the river. There was a young man fishing. The young man said that Paraguayan traders come to this side of the river with vegetables and fruits in the morning. They take us to the city. In the morning, there is a market here. We asked if we can go to Paraguay from here. The answer was that if you come in the morning, you can sit in the vegetable and fruit ship and go to one. Stay for two days and definitely come back. I have seen many borders in my life, but this was the first time I saw such a simple border without army and police. But why not create such tax-free markets?

They will also lower the prices of consumer goods and legalize the illegal trade. On our way back to the city, we saw a lot of wine shops, Mario said. People from Brazil and Paraguay come here every day to buy alcohol. Argentinian wine is better in quality and cheaper and it is also popular in neighboring countries.

That’s why there are hundreds of stores in Iguassu. We also saw queues of cars at petrol pumps along the way. It turned out that petrol is cheap in Argentina, so people from Paraguay and Brazil come here to fill up on petrol and queues form.

Iguazu is a tourist town. There are 30 thousand hotel rooms in the city. People even rent out a room or two in their houses. You can go to any house or flat and rent a room. It becomes difficult to meet.

We also had to pay for the room. However, we got the room. Our hotel was located on the border. From the window of the room, we could see the bridge of Brazil and the big whale of Paraguay. It was dedicated to the seas’, Mario said, if you want to see all three sides, then you have to leave at half past seven in the morning.

We made an appointment with him. We also got halal shawarma in the center of the city. The owner was from Morocco and looked like the younger brother of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Muslim customers were found.

The center was nice and full, the restaurants, coffee shops and ice cream parlors were busy, but in the middle of the market, redandans had set up their stalls. Probably the smell of dead animals.

Our second day was the day of waterfalls’ Mario took us there ‘These people call waterfalls ‘catarata’ in their language they also call the pupil of the eye ‘catarata’ Why waterfalls? That the greens feel like cataracts in the Amazon’ maybe that’s why they’re called cata rata’ On the Argentinian side there’s even a train running through the jungle while there are dozens of tracks.

It takes at least six hours to see the whole area through tracks and we only had three and a half hours so we did half the journey by train and half on foot. ‘There was a blue sky above’ there was a forest on the right and left and water falling deep below the feet’ that place was indeed a talisman ho sharba’ a talisman which defeats a man from within’ which makes a man modern. The era takes us back to the era of Christ and we were going through such times and conditions at that time.
