  • Iguazu Falls - Brazil

    January 29 in Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

    This morning we crossed the border into Brazil to visit Iguazu Falls on the other side. Unlike the Argentinan side, there is a single 1.5 kilometre trail to walk but it provides spectacular views of almost all of the waterfall complex. At the end on platforms you are almost immersed in the falls.

    After that we visited the Parque Das Aves (Bird Park) where we saw lots of different Atlantic Rainforest birds plus butterflies and hummingbirds (actually didn't see any of the latter). Back to the hotel to get our bags and a return flight to Buenos Aires.

  • Last day in Buenos Aires

    January 30 in Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Got back to the hotel fairy late, up reasonably early to pack. We went for a walk to find a massage place for Paul - that failed. Sonya and I visited the National History Museum which gave a good overview of how the nation was formed until the mid-20th century.

    Walked to Plaza Dorrego for an outdoor lunch - perfect weather today - then back to the hotel for a quick change and travel to the airport. Farewell Argentina, it certainly has been interesting.
