I welcomed the warm weather and good meats. The first two nights I stayed in the San TelmoMontserrat neighborhood. The hostel was nice and the people there were very helpful. My first evening in Buenos Aires was quite producti http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-348229.html November 2426 2008 Day 16 17 18So I've been falling way behind on my journal entries and now am trying to catch up on all that has passed.My 3 day excursion to Iguazu falls began on November 24.

There are several termas in Pucon as well as one of the best in Chile which is outside of Pucon called Termas Geometricos. Since it was difficult to get to t. Geometricos I was able to book a tour to termas los pozones.
