Guiraoga and Puerto Iguazú














Today, we went to visit a rehabiltation center for animals at Guiraoga. This is an indigenous word for ¨the house of the birds´. Inside this rehabilitation center, we saw toucans, monkeys, alligators, coatíes, macaws, and eagles. This place is amazing because they take in animals and then prepare them to go back out to the wild. Afterwards, we took a trip to the point where the Iguazú and Paraná Rivers come together as well as the countries of Paraguay, Brasil and Argentina meet. This is only one of two places in the world where this happens (with the other in southeast Asia).  After some time here, the students had a chance to do some shopping in Puerto Iguazú for their friends and family.
