As planned I made my way up to the northernmost part of Argentina. 17 hours non stop on a bus, the longest ride since Thailand. Busses are really common here and replace what would be trains in Europe. They are more comfortable though with entertainment system, fully reclining seats and meals included.
Again I could see the nature around me changing, this time from grassland to rainforest. At the same time, the temperature was rising. From 10C in Buenos Aires to 29 in Puerto Iguazu. I looked forward to that alone already.
Tea, Dinner and Breakfast included
Though not necessarily Lufthansa quality
I found a nice hostel in the town of Puerto Iguazu. The province here is called Missiones and it has a very different vibe to it than the area around Buenos Aires. It reminds of of pictures of the rainforest in Brazil (the border is actually just 5km from my hostel). Red earth like in Australia, but overgrown with lush rainforest. The towns themselves look mostly very shabby, though this area is not actually rather wealthy (main tourist destination to see the waterfalls. Some locals shared their ideas about this with me. But more about that later.
I arrived early in the morning and went straight to the waterfalls of Iguazu. However, I took so many pictures that I rather put that in the post of tomorrow :D
