Hello all, It's Tal again. We left Porto Seguro (after a few days in Trancoso), and arrived at Salvador de Bahia at 0630 only to find out that we have a bus to Lencois in less than 20 min.

The next morning, we scheduled to wake up early - our first exciting 'Rio event' was about to happen - meeting my parents. They came 3 weeks ... read more

Another example, they know very well how to make the meat, ... read more

We are back to nature exploration and Esteros del Ibera is our next destination; So at the end of a fine day in the local hot springs of Gualeguaychu (where we have been for the Argentinian carnival), we take a night bus to the town of Mercedes, where we arrive at 6:30 am.

Buenos Aires is one of the biggest cities in the world because only in Buenos Aires there are 16,000000 people. Day 1: We got with the bus to the terminal of buses in Buenos Aires.
