Cross Country Argentine style
This is a top pick! ... have to agree. These buses feel more like international first class on Virgin Atlantic. I'm calling them Air-Argentina from now on. The buses are massive Mercedes or Scandia double-deckers and you usually have the choice ...
About prostitutes, big waterfalls and spiders...
This is a top pick! ... thermosflasks with hot water and cups of mate (green tea) everywhere, and religiously keep to the siesta. In the afternoon, Corrientes is like a ghosttown. Poverty mainly shows itself here in the smaller details, like t-shirts and shoes that can be ...
Killing time and bikini shopping
From Mercedes we took a bus to Corrientes. We had hoped to get a bus straight on to Salta but got stranded there for the day. Despite there being literally dozens of bus companies, they all left for Salta around six in the evening. It seems crazy to ...
kleine Pause in Mercedes
zurueck von der Pampa sind wir froh wieder etwas Infrastruktur zu haben. Aber aufregend ist die Stadt bis jetzt nicht, obwohl es die Stadt der Gauchos ist. M hat einen ordentlichen Schnupfen von der Bootsfahrt und so haengen wir einen Tag an und relaxen ...
Idle days in Esteros del Ibera

Jab on the bum!!

Posados and the ruins
... little bars, however our party 6some has decreased to a 4some, the kiwi couple, cat and Charlie have left us to go south into Argentina. Leaving Dave and i with ronan and Jane. The crazy Scotts. One night out on the town and a few too many beers, makes ...
Enter Carlos, population 500 (I swear)
... clay road for about four hours. Nearly halfway there, the wildlife started jumping around outside the window. This section of Argentina is a birdwatcherīs Paradise for sure. One would need an entire field manual to catalog all the types of birds we ...
Friends Found

... baby boy, matais. it was really nice getting to meet them, too. there really isnīt much to do in corrientes, so we wandered around a little. gaston is a manager at his brotherīs restaurant. he was actually working nights while ...
At One With Nature
Reaching Colonia Pelligrini was something of a torturous journey involving an overnight bus to a town called Mercedes, from where we hopped onto a local "minibus" service. Minibus is actually a somewhat loose description - most of the windows were ...
Colonia Carlos Pellegrini
The bus to Colonia Carlos Pellegrini was a beat-up old thing, but a million times better than the one we took three years ago. The road was as we remembered it, unpaved, bumpy, with fields of cows, sheep and emus. It took about three hours ...
Who Likes Buses
Well most of you probably know this story all ready but I thought I would put up some photos and a short entry. Well after boarding are extremely comfy bus in Iguazu we were on our way to BA in luxury. THe seats folded almost flat and were like big ...
Parque Esteros de Ibera: A Gem of a Place
... to escape their busy city life, jump on a flight to Buenos Aires and ride the bus to Mercedes in the Corrientes district of NE Argentina. Take a minibus or combi from there to Carlos Pelligrini ( mind you, no transport on sundays) and watch all your ...
Tales of the riverbank
Two bottles of insect repellent, a can of fly spray, anti itch cream and a packet of antihistamines, we were ready for the wetlands of Esteros del Ibera. We stopped off for the night at Posadas where we had arranged to meet Hector Mendoza ...
Mercedes; final resting place of Gauchito Gil
Keen and enthusiastic readers of these blogs will have spotted references to Antonio 'Gauchito' Gil in our earlier blog from La Boca in BsAs. We found small shrines to him on a side street, found out more and soon discovered that he was a folk character ...
Hit the road // Die ersten 1000km
Here we go, it's been a while since we posted the last entry: Since Saturday, Seraina and I hit the road and travel north towards the Iguazu falls. But let's start where we ended the last time. After receiving our car Monday a week ago, we finalized our ...

... on the other side. The dirt road reminded me of how much I’ve been appreciating the fine paved roads in Argentina. Rover shook, rattled, squeaked, and clanked and I worried that something might fall apart. Fortunately, nothing did. When it began to ...
Pellegrini; floating islands, crocs and big rats!
Whilst in Mercedes, we had been helped enormously by Graciella, who has something to do with the hostel we stayed in. Graciella is the antithesis of all thing Sudamerikano, as she actually gets things done. Having met us like a whirlwind at ...
