If you’re visiting Iguazu Falls, you might be asking the question: which side is better to see everything from, Brazil or Argentina? Brazil vs Argentina. It’s the age-old debate. When it comes to football, I’m not picking a horse, mainly because horses have nothing to do with football. But when deciding whether you should visit…
