Iguazu Falls are on right on the border of Brazil and Argentina and not far away from the Paraguayan border also. Puerto Iguazu is the town, on the Argentine side, that has the best proximity to Iguazu Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Puerto Iguazu largely derives all of its tourism from the falls and whilst the town is pleasant enough, it has nothing other than the falls really going for it.

We returned to Buenos Aires from Uruguay with shared anticipation, as we knew what awaited our arrival. Em and I had decided to live in a different suburb than Recoleta the location of our first stay in Buenos Aires, albeit it the neighbouring suburb. If Recoleta is ritzy then Palermo, the neighbouring suburb of choice for our second stint in Buenos Aires, is swanky with a splash of bohemia.

Santiago, as I mentioned, albeit breifly, in an earlier journal entry was great with its high standards of living and bustling streets.
