18th May
We wanted to reach The Igazu Falls on the Brazilian/ Argentinian border and the most direct route was through Paraguay but the road was supposed to be horrendous, unpaved nightmare and could take anything between 20 hours and 4 days to reach Asuncion the capital. So we decided to give it a miss and go through Argentina where they have Tarmac and luxury buses. And so the journey began:

Tupiza to Tarija - 8hrs overnight, bumpy

Tarija - has a market open at 5.30am for breakfast and generally a very pretty colonial town.

Tarija to Bermejo - 4hrs, noisy

Bermejo to Oran - 30 min taxi, a walkover the bridge border into Argentina, and a strict search.

Oran - a hillbilly town but we managed to get a steak as we had 12hrs to wait for our next bus.

Oran to Tucuman - 10hrs

Tucuman - Off one bus straight onto the next one waiting.

Tucuman to Puerto Igazu - 21hrs, 4 films in a row.

21st May
After 3 nights on buses we arrived and were pretty glad to be in a hotel.
