And so to the end of my time here in Posadas! I can´t believe I´m leaving, it felt like a long time during, but now I´m leaving it feels like I arrived yesterday. If that makes any sense! This last week has been really good with the kids, it just shows it really does take time for us to get used to them and vice versa. On Wednesday morning we to...

Went to visit the famous San Ignacio Mini ruins. This area (north-eastern Argentina and neighbouring Brazil and Paraguay) was home to over thirty Jesuit missions in the eighteenth century - before the Jesuits were expelled by the Spanish Crown. San Ignacio Miní - was home to nearly 4500 Guarani indigenous at its peak in 1733. The ruins themselve...

é de manha...11 h AM. vou até a hidroelétrica ,que é bem perto da cidade, apenas para descobrir que a próxima visita guiada é as 2 da tarde. Vou me embora para a Argentina. Passo sem problemas pela alfandega. Um calor brutal. Encontro um casal de Piracicaba na fila para entrar , num Fiat Palio. Moram em Sao Paulo. Hoje pela primeira vez sinto um...

Well we might not actually be setting foot in the country of paraguay but at least we got to see it up close. Posadas is a small city placed on the opposite bank of the Rio iguazù from paraguay. It is actually a really nice area with big waterfront houses and an esplanade (however you spell it) for walkers and yoggers and stuff. We had a nice li...

After our stint in Puerto Iguazú, we decided to break up the long bus ride to Salta by stopping in Posadas for a night. In our Lonely Planet, it said that the bus ride from Iguazu to Posadas was 5 hours, so we decided to lounge by the pool at the hostel until mid-afternoon and then take the 3pm bus which would, in theory, have us arriving around...

Alex: What a nightmare. The Posadas itself is really nice little town but we just had loads of problems. We arrived at about 17.30 and had a quick look around the bus terminal for buses to Buenos Aires and as there were loads didn't think we would have a problem getting tickets so left to find a hotel. We got the local bus and headed to somewher...

So, my first week at El Refugio is drawing to a close. And what an interesting week it has been. The first day, Lada was still away visiting a friend for the weekend, and so I and another volunteer (18, english) made our way to the refuge, me in particular feeling rather nervous about the day, but as well prepared as I could be thanks to a plann...

Finds me in Posadas. The Posadas had a flair of excitement similar to La Rioja, with the additional excitement of the somewhat poorly maintained (until more recently) historical Jesuit Misiones ruins about 30m outside fo twon. Unfortunately, upon arrifing I had right away purchased the ticket for my next destination two full days and nights late...

Posadas was not a favourite stop. Firstly it rained and secondly it was just an overcrowded shopping town. Not very exciting and was very glad to get on the bus the next day to travel to Cordoba. However the trip to Cordoba was a bit of a nightmare as even though it was cold outside they had the air conditioning on full, we ran late and they had...

September 9th 2004 Arrived safe and sound in Buenos Aires, stayed 1 night, so only got a chance to see the centre of the city. It has a very European feel to it, I felt like I was in Barcelona or Madrid. Made my way to Colonia Liebig, via Posadas and Apostoles. C.L. is actually in the state of Corrientes, near the border to Misiones. So have bee...
