Sensual dancing. Colorful floats. Exuberent music. Body glitter. Plastic breasts covered with bejewelled pasties.Carnaval. The biggest craziest celebration in South America. We had arrived.Everyone knows about Brazil's famous Carnaval celebrations but most people probably don't know that pretty much every country in Latin America has their own unique way of celebrating http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Entre-R-os/Gualeguaych-/blog-251413.html This is one for the story books. Planning for this trip got a little out of hand. We all live pretty far from each other and this group was half FSD and half Argentine friends of one of the girls. Come Friday when we left town wersquod already spent the last 7 days going back and forth about tents and sleeping bags and transportationhellip this is much more complicated than it sounds. Friday http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Entre-R-os/Gualeguaych-/blog-250075.html Carnaval In Argentina Yes. Apparently there is a big carnaval just 3 hours from Buenos Aires every week during Januaray February and March. Anyway I went to this carnaval with a tour so we got to sit in the first row of the VIP section and see everything real close. It was great lots of music and little clothing. The carnaval has 3 groups each appears for about an hour and a half so it http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Entre-R-os/Gualeguaych-/blog-249498.html Gualeguaychu Lige njagtig PimLrdag d. 25.2.07 stod vi 5 fra lejligheden tidligt op og tog bussen fra Buenos Aires til Gualeguaychu nord for BsAs hvor Argentinas strste karneval efter sigende skulle befinde sig.

To get a bit of the atmosphere we went to the best carnaval Argentina the carnaval en el corsodromo de Gualeguaychu. Some 6 carnavl groups prepare the whole year for this show. It was very nice and the atmosphere was good too. Voor 13.00 moeten we onze kaartjes halen dus we vertrekken al om 8 uur sochtends uit Buenos aires. De stad i http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Entre-R-os/Gualeguaych-/blog-132438.html The sun is setting outside the receptionists have joined with the regulars in sing alongs and drinks and I am faced with the sad task of packing up all my things into my pack once again and pulling myself together for a late night ride to the Airport because tomorrow morning I takeoff for Ecuador.I have relaxed all this week and hung out with my friends here at the hostel watching films goin http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Entre-R-os/Gualeguaych-/blog-124753.html We escaped the city for the weekend again. This time we travelled three and a half hours north of BA into the province of Entre Rios and to the town of Gualeguaychu. Gualeguaychu is famous for its carnival weekends in January and February but being October we had to settle for tranquility and 28 degrees of sunshine. It was great.We stayed in the Hotel Berlin where they were unbelievably friendly http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Entre-R-os/Gualeguaych-/blog-94097.html On friday I met up with Ben Chinns parents at their nice ass hotel in the Recoleta in Buenos Aires. They fed me the buffet breakfast that was offered at the hotel. It was delicious Then they got me lunch. Afterwards me and Bens mom went to the Buenos Aires opera house for a tour. I mean I probably wouldnt have gone on the tour if it wasnt offered to me. But it was fairly exciting.
