Unfortunately when we arrived at the hostel in Iguazú, the Brazil v Croatia game was finished. We were a little disappointed but there will be plenty more games to watch! In the morning, we arose to grey, gloomy skies with a forecast of rain and severe storms in the afternoon. Nothing like the day prior that we had spent entirely on a bus! We headed for the Argentinian side of Iguazú Falls hoping the rain would only arrive later in the day, as for...

The bus took aaaages to reach the Argentinian Immigration on the other side of the bridge from Encarnación, due to the traffic queue. When we finally reached it, we were asked to go to the front of the line for the bag scan as we were travellers, score! Not sure why given the next bus took about 15 minutes on the other side. While waiting, we recognised one of the guys from the Encarnación tourist info. He lives in Posadas and travels between Argentina and Par...

In the morning, we thought we should get some washing done. The hostel had a machine we could use which was great, though the load took forever, at least ...

We were met at the gate to Laguna Blanca by Becca, the Primate Project Coordinator at Laguna Blanca, despite being about 40 minutes late. We threw our bags in the back of the ute and were driven through a soy plantation, then a patch of Atlantic forest, and to a clearing with a few buildings and a beautiful white sand beach leading to the lake. On one side of the clearing is the tourist resort, and on the other the housing for employees, interns and volunteers a...
