There are not words to express the wonder that is Iguazú Falls. I´ve always loved waterfalls, and I´ve been mildly obsessed with the idea of going to Iguazú ever since my aunt and uncle went there over 10 years ago. I was not disappointed. We spent 3 days in Iguazú, and I´m glad we had that much time. It allowed us to roam on all of the paths around the park and see the hundreds of falls from every possible angle. Just when you think you couldn´t poss...

Hi all. Sorry, I am hopelessly behind on my blog. We met up with Douglas´s parents and a family friend of theirs for an amazing ten days in Buenos Aires and Iguazú.

The small settlement of Puerto Williams, Chile is slightly farther South, and the land keeps going for quite some time before become sea, and then, of course Antarctica. Still, at a latitude of 54 degrees South and with tour agencies advertising getaways to ...

Just a quick update... due to sold out bus routes, today we found ourselves somewhat stuck in a Patagonian coastal town called Rio Gallegos. From what I can deduce, this is sort of the Piura of Patagonia- a big city, but nothing for a tourist to do. Still, we´re taking advantage to have a day of rest and exercise, before we continue our journey to ¨the end of the world.¨ More updates soon!
