Disadvantages: Not for summer time!, Lots of mosquitos!

Ok, some tips if you're planning to visit the waterfalls with 7 jumps, even bigger than the American one.
Don't forget to plan everything for their winter, if you plan to be there during december, january, february... think about this twice, you will need more than a huge bottle of water, it's summer there and specially there that is a tropical forest, everywhere you turn you'll find insects.
So remember to carry, no matter when you go insects repelent all the time.
The waterfalls present their best jumps in the Argentinian part, that's why you'll get the superb view in the Brazilian side.
You have to options one is to stay in Brazil, that is cheap although they rise prices for turism, or if not you can stay in Argentina.
If you choose the second choice, you'll be glad to know that their most luxury hotel in the area doesn't cost fortunes. It's a Sheraton situated in the middle of the Argentinian National Park, so if you fancy a look to the waterfalls in the middle of night, specially when there is full moon, you won't need to get out the hotel.
If you stay then in Argentina and someone offer to take you to the "punto trifinio"... save your money, theres nothing there and it's called like that because there the 3 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay) touch each other.
But it worth a day trip to the "Ruinas Jesuitas", where you can find the mission of the colony in the times where they were teaching to the indians.
A visit to the tropical forest is a must, never go alone or without a proper guide, and enjoy the enviroment, maybe a typical rain and that red earth that reminds to more than one Australia.
Good luck and remeber o drink lots of water!
