During our previous journey from Córdoba to Santa Fé we stopped for lunch at a large grill restaurant on the outskirts of San Francisco (after Los Angeles, we thought we should give a U.S.-named city another chance).
We mention it here due to the Córdoban couple on the table next to us at lunch. They described the Sheraton Iguazú, located within the national park, with a direct view of the falls and the ability to walk to see them whenever you wanted.
The prospect was so attractive that we decided to push the boat out, blowing our normal budget by several times. We booked a falls-view room with king-sized bed for three nights.
We stood at check-in, looking past the receptionist, out of the whole-wall window, directly at the view of the largest fall. This gave us an indication of what we might expect of our room and we were not disappointed!
The whole spectacle is comprised of many waterfalls, covering most of a curving escapement more than half a mile in length, with the largest fall at the left-hand end - the Devil's Throat - and that is the incredible view we enjoyed from our room and all parts of the hotel every time we looked out of a window.
The national park is very well laid out. Well-designed and well built walkways through the heart of the natural jungle offer one route below the falls, with amazing views from the front, some bathed in spray, and another two over the top, along the edge of the falls.
