Our next major stop was Rosario, however, to get there we had to stop on Posadas. We were hoping to spend the day stopping at a Jesuit Missions location, then move on to Posadas to catch a night bus to Rosario. Our plan was destroyed when we got to Posadas and everyone was taking their holiday vacation, which meant their were no buses out until Monday, 2 days later. So, we were left in Posadas. Our journey began with a rough bus ride to the Jesuit Missions. It was a 5 hour ride in a tiny bus, with AC that didn´t [View Full Entry]

The River Parana touches the shores of Argentina, Paraguay and Brasil. The international bridge at Posadas spans the distance between Argentina and Paraguay. Shopping is said to be much cheaper on the Paraguayan side. Posadas on the Argentinian side is a stopping place before travelling the the final 316 km to Iguazu Falls. Arriving on the much delayed El Gran Capitan at 05:00 I took a chance and a taxi to THe Liberatador Hotel on San Lorenzo. Its comfy, clean, wellsituated, has a restaurant , WiFi, and a table and chairs in the room. All for 102 pesos. Slept late. Dressed [View Full Entry]

I flew into Posadas from Buenos Aires. The main reason for coming here was so that I could then get the bus to go and see the Jesuit and Guarani ruins in San Ignacio Mini and then head on to the waterfalls (or cataratas as they call them here) at Puerto Iguazu. Posadas is the provincial capital of Misiones which is the most North Eastern province. I have only attached two piccies to give you a flavour of the place. [View Full Entry]

Hola Todos, Viajamos 3 horas en barco (Montevideo-Buenos Aires) y más de 18 horas en ómnibus para llegar a Puerto Iguazú. Un largo trayecto que merecía mucho la pena. Desde Puerto Iguazú visitamos el Parque Nacional de Iguazú : un día lluvioso del lado brasileño y dos días soleados del lado Argentino. Les dejo ver las fotos..las cataratas son hermosísimas, impresionantes, inmensas, potentes, ...nos quedamos pasmados, admirativos, hechizados... Hay que verlas..es demasiado difícil contar tanta belleza, tantas emociones. Además llegamos justo para festejar mi cumpleaños..fue un regalo muy original y bonito.. !Qué suerte ver a un tucán en la cumbre de [View Full Entry]

Well we took a bus 5 hours west of Puerto Iguazu to a place called Posadas... theres really nothing to do here, but an hour and a half away are some Jesuit ruins... really doesnt interest me that much, but it was the way I was heading anyways so I thought I would check it out. On the bus some sort of police...or military came on with a dog and took the 3 people I was travelling with off the bus and told them they could smell marijuana on them...(untrue) and tried to get them to confess to having some, [View Full Entry]

Woke up and checked out of the hotel, we then walked down to the small beach by the river to sunbathe. There is only 1 beach, and it´s a private affair, so we paid our 2 pesos and sat in sun loungers listening to the barman pumping out the beatles and Bob Marley! We had the place to ourselves, and it was really hot. After 2 hours sitting in the same position, I realised we were both incredibly burnt. Fortunately my burns were grouped around my shoulders and chest, exaclty where my ruck sack would be in a matter of hours, [View Full Entry]

As it was Easter Sunday there was very little open in town, so we went to the one open supermarket and bought ourselves some breakfast to eat on some grass. Spent the day reading and sunbathing on a patch of grass by the river, and then went for a slap up meal at the pizza and pasta restaurant by the river, followed by ice cream in town.

Last day in Posadas. Once we packed all of our stuff, we were treated to a last meal with Aida and Maria, not sure what happened to the other 2 sisters, but at least the hot one was there! We were told all about how great Iguazu falls are, and were to go and what to do next. Really excited about getting to Iguazu and seeing what all the fuss is about. Got a taxi at 12:30 to take us to Posadas station for our 1:30am coach. Spent the entire journey bloody freezing, as I decided to wear shorts and flip [View Full Entry]

Last day at the park! Woke up early, and both felt pretty rough from the night before, didn´t realise how many we had put away, and felt pretty sick. Reynaldo found it funny that I smelt of booze, and I was wondering whether he had some horrific jobs for us today or if he was going to be nice. It turned out to be the latter, and although we started off helping shift thousands of old polythne bags from one side of the barn to the other (Many creepy crawlies and mice), once we had done that for half an [View Full Entry]
