I take a bus for 24 hours from Salta to Puerto Iguazú, home of Iguazú Falls. The buses here are so comfortable that 24 hours doesn´t even faze me anymore.  The falls are at the very northeasterly tip of Argentina on the border with Brazil and Paraguay ... Read more >

I left the farm a week and a half ago and went to Salta in northwestern Argentina. I loved the city so much. It has a very European feel (go colonialism!) with cobblestone streets, Spanish style cathedrals and beautiful plazas. It is also hot hot hot ... Read more >

Tageshoechsttemperaturen ca 40 Grad in Buenos Aires bei meiner Ankunft. Yuhuu dacht ich erst..endlich vom Winter weg in Berlin. Aber der Temperaturunterschied von fast 50 Grad ist dann doch nicht so leicht wegzustecken. Noch dazu der Jetlag. So kam ich gegen ... Read more >
