Today we visit the Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. For this we take a public bus, very close to the hostel. We are about fifteen kilometers from the border with Brazil. We stop at the border and get off the bus, pass a checkpoint and are asked for our passport in which they stamp a permit for one day.
Today we visit the Iguazu Falls. The local bus passes in front of the hostel, you have to raise your hand to make it stop. We arrive at the entrance of the Argentine Park.
Iguazu Falls
We wake up, swim in the pool and have breakfast. We visit again the center of Salta, at 2 pm our flight leaves to Iguazu.
Church in Salta
We get up early, have breakfast and are picked up in a van to start the excursion.
In the northwest of the Andes, nature shapes the rocks in a magical way. Craggy peaks, winding ravines, rocky landscapes. You breathe an Andean air with traditional craftsmanship totally different from the rest of the country.
Today we don't have to get up early, we have a quiet breakfast and at 12 o'clock we are at the International Airport of Bariloche Tte. Luis de Candelaria. Our flight stops in Buenos Aires with destination Salta.
We have problems again but this time with the airline LAN. In Buenos Aires we are 4 hours late and we have two hours left!
We got up early in the morning and booked an excursion at the hostel to tour around the Lake District up to San Martín de los Andes.
Villa la Angostura
Today it's not early morning, after breakfast we bought takeaway food, some macaroni and tomato in a supermarket.
Bariloche
Our flight leaves at 2pm so we spend the morning doing some shopping. We eat roast in a restaurant, you can tell it is not recent and it is not as good as in other places.
Calafate
It's stopped raining and the sun is up, we're having breakfast at the inn. Our idea was to spend one day climbing up to Poincenot camp to admire the Fitz Roy and another day approaching Laguna Torre to see the Cerro Torre, so we decided to combine a route that joins these two wonders of nature.
We get up early again and spend the next two days in El Chalten, the entrance to Glacier National Park in the northern sector.
We took a van, it works like a bus but makes less stops. The driver is very nice and acts as a tour guide on the way. He stops at the viewpoints and tells us stories.
