El Guembe Puerto Iguazu

... bigger than I have ever seen in my 6 years of living in the mountains, was put on to the car. A 3 hour journey trough the jungle started and it was a bumpy and at times, scary one. The heavy rain had made it almost impossible to maneuver the so-called-road, but our driver had some mad driving skills and we finally made it to the final destination; Yacutinga lodge.

Cold yearba maté and empanaditas were served and I was in heaven. This place was incredible! A eco-lodge in the ...

... guy we were with says, "David, how is Sao Paulo, not safe uh?" ... i was just about to go on a wee rant about how unsafe Brazil is, compared to Argentina when....a car crashes into us! Yeah, thats right, CRASHES! So i say crash, but really i should say rolled, it was travelling about 10mph, and the driver didnt break or turn the wheel, he actaully just drove into us! ...now normally after a car accident two things usually happen .. 1. you stop or 2. you ...

Ever fancied going to a place which makes Niagara Falls look like a leaky tap? If so, Iguazu Falls is the place for you.

"Oh come on!" was my response, before I left for a nice shower in the ensuite. Sneaky sneaky. Once I`d done this, me and Troy made a much needed trip to the bank - on the way to which I nearly ...

... systems are interconnected. Who designed these things must have only lived in the tropics, because the sub-tropics can indeed go below freezing as I painfully realized. My plan of layering to deal with the cold I'll later experience in Peru quickly dissolved as with 6 layers -- 2 shirts, 2 thermal layer shirts, my vest and my wind breaker did little to stop my shivering ...

... crossing... but I was so wrong! I made it into Brazil, where you don't need a visa if you are just going to the Iguazu Falls for the day.

The only thing I knew how to say in Portuguese was "thank you" and that didn't really come in handy when trying to get directions to Paraguay! Well, eventually I made it to the "Friendship Bridge" that joins Foz do ...
