Puerto Iguazú Travel Blogs

Background: Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.

PUERTO IGUAZÚ ARGENTIINASSA 27.-29.11.2009 Argentiinan puolella yleisiä alueita ei ole siistitty, ojat kasvavat rikkaruohoa, pensasaitoja ei ole tasoitettu, talot ja bussit ovat rähjäisiä, mutta tunnelma on paljon sydämellisempi ja rennompi. Nyt on taas hauskaa, kun ei enää tarvitse varoa askeleitaan. Voin käyttää yleisiä kulkuvälineitä ja hoitaa asiani espanjan kielellä. Olen saanut vapauteni takaisin. - Tietenkin voi, suosittelen sitä teille, siellä on kolmen valtakunnan maamerkki ja hyvin kaunista. Miten niin ette voisi mennä jokirantaan kävelylle? - Brasilian puolella sanottiin, [View Full Entry]

I´ve got to hang around until 6 tonight to catch a night bus to central Brazil (Campo Grande), so I thought would give a quick update on what I have been up to. Buenos Aires After the Marathon I hung around BA for a few more nigths and basically ate Steak and drunk Quilmes (Argy beer). Also meet a cool ozzie called Anne who is moving to the mighty Clapham Junction to live for a couple of years if it all goes to plan. After 2 weeks in BA it was time to move on. I was meant to catch the [View Full Entry]

After a long bus ride we made it to the town of Iguazu. The landscape here in Misiones is beautiful - the contrast of rust-red earth and shades green are impressionistic! The town is small and cute, certainly supported mostly by tourism, but less in your face and disneyland-ish than I expected for such a tourist destination. Pablo and I arrived on Monday, early in the afternoon, a quiet day just before siesta, so it was especially quiet during our first walk around town. We spent the evening wandering around the nearly deserted streets, dropped off our laundry to be washed, [View Full Entry]

Sooo after a less than magical 26 hr bus trip from Rio DJ to Puerto Iguazu that included; a changeover in Foz Iguazu, freezing cabin temperatures, bus companions with less than amicable gastronomy and an unexplained 1.5hr stop over in the middle of nowhere at 3am with all lights in the cabin on. Cata was later able to confirm from the heated conversation outside of the bus taking place in Portuguese and Spanish that our faithful drivers had apparently answered a 'Booty Call', we arrived two weary travelers keen to check into a hostel and begin our Puerto Iguazu travels Peter [View Full Entry]

Hola!! Mittlerweile sind wir schon wieder in Argentinien, Bolivien ist nicht ganz so gelaufen, wie wir es geplant hatten, was aber nciht heisst, dass es nicht toll war. Die erste Nacht in Bolivien haben wir auf der Isla del Sol auf dem Titikakasee verbracht, was super toll war! Viel machen kann man da nicht, ausser super lecker Forelle essen und hoch ueber dem See mit tollem Blick fruehstuecken und auch sonst die restlichen Ausblicke toll finden! Dann ging es weiter nach la Paz. Die Stadt war nicht halb so toll, wie es der Reisefuehrer berichtet hat. Die wichtigen Bereiche konzentrieren sic [View Full Entry]

After leaving Salta we arrived 23 hours later in Iguazu Falls. Larger than Niagra and situated on the Argentina/Brazil border. It was spectacular. As we woke late and didn't arrive at the falls until lunch time we were worried about getting around the whole thing, so headed to the main attraction first, the Devils Throat. We couldn't believe ours eyes! Just so so much water! Actually made you quite dizzy to look at. There are over 200 falls in total and about 10 lookout points. The buzz of seeing the amazing power of these things coupled with the relief of being [View Full Entry]

Having finally made it out of Buenos Aires we arrived at the little town of Puerto Iguazu having taken the famous 'ejecutivo' overnight bus. And very nice it was too with comfy seats, champagne and wine served - the only shocker was the 2 hour long 80s music compilation video which they played. However after a few bevvies we were soon singing along. Puerto Iguazu itself is pleasant enough and is located very close to the famous Iguazu Falls. We had been recommended the Hostelling International, which was out of town - but as it was too cold to use the [View Full Entry]

There is room for us at the Bambu hostel so we stayed, nice hostel fairly new, Natalia the receptionist is superb host, very accomodating in every way, the room is nice though small the beds are so comfy wide and thick, and there are blankets because it can get cold here. We looked for dinner, went to a recommended restaurant called. Excited, we got ready for the trip to the Iguassu falls, we took a bus from the terminal, lots of tourists as expected even if it cold this time of the year. Took around 20 minutes to get to the [View Full Entry]

Ah I love it here. Arrived here yesterday. Took a little while to get through Border control but I now have a shiny Argentinian stamp in my passport. I wanted a whole day to see Iguazu falls so for the afternoon I went on a walk to see the three frontiers (point where you can see Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil all seperated by a river). I then went to La Aripuca whice is a set of native buildings. The main attraction is a massive version of an Aripuca, which is a trap the natives used to catch small animals. It took [View Full Entry]

5 weeks has passed since last blog. Now there are only 3 weeks, 4 exams and a lot of sad goodbyes left. After I came back from the states, I had a serious need to calm down and get some structure in my life again. The first weeks after I came back were mostly spent in school, at the gym and at other random places. One random place was Pacaembu. Since Arsenal at the end of May finished of a season where the word “almost” was describing in most ways, I found out that it was about time I found myself [View Full Entry]
