So here we are, stranded indefinately in Uspallata, one of the most uninteresting tiny towns i´ve ever encountered. Its only vaguely interesting point is that it's where they filmed 7 years in Tibet. I´d rather be in Tibet. Its Wednesday, our 3 day of sitting twiddling our thumbs waiting for the Los Libertadores pass, which goes through the Andes to Chile, to open. The town is full of truck cabs waiting for the same thing. Everything (apart from this internet c...

A beautiful 4 hour bus journey past multicoloured mountains led us to Puente Del Inca. It was a bit of a shock to the system. It had been quite hot in Mendoza, blue skies quite sunny. We arrived to this tiny village in the mountains to find heavy snow. The village is named after its main attraction, a natural sulphur bridge over a river.

WOW. That was a pretty great 3 days. Our hostel was enormous. Set on the road from town to some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, it used to be a casino so it was apretty big building with a pretty big pool. Jumping in that pool was pretty much the first thing we did. We got alot of strange looks, the pool wasnt exactly warm, but it was so refreshing and Iguazu is a pretty hot place, right on the brazilian border. We set off for the falls in the...
