    Tasting for two in the cellar. This winery bottles one red (Malbec) and one white (Torrontes). Anita said the wine was delicious, Vinnie liked the accompanying rabbit pate crackers.: by anijensen, Views[288]
         		 Our winery/hotel: by anijensen, Views[232]
         		 Saguaro or barrel cactus, when green, is soft and pliable. But when dried, becomes like hard wood. They use it for furniture, construction, and decorative items.: by anijensen, Views[279]
         		 Sweet girl and some very sweet grapes (equivalent of mid-August in the northern hemisphere): by anijensen, Views[288]
         		 We spent two nights at a “boutique” winery and tiny hotel. This was the view from the walkway outside our room.: by anijensen, Views[233]
     
    “The Amphitheater” rock formation south of Salta City, Argentina: by anijensen, Views[329]
         		 Anita rappelling down a watery rock face: by anijensen, Views[248]
         		 Arriving on the zip line: by anijensen, Views[248]
         		 The initial (wobbly according to Anita) climb up to the zip line: by anijensen, Views[266]
         		 Our (interesting) group for the 3-day stay at the jungle lodge. From left, Wilfred, a German tango specialist; Carino, the Italian-Argentinean (!) ornithologist head guide (also speaks decent German); Steve, an English investment banker who has moved permanently to Luxembourg; Steven and Natalie, Canadians who emigrated from Hong Kong 20 years ago; A+V; Emma, also a British ex-pat banker living in Luxembourg (Steve’s girlfriend); Nasarina, our primary guide (we were her first group).: by anijensen, Views[343]
     
    Capybaras, the world’s largest rodent. At the lodge where we stayed, they are investigating the possibility of using capybaras to keep the grass cropped under the tea bushes, because (you guessed it) the next evolution of the green tea industry is organically grown tea.: by anijensen, Views[334]
         		 Kayaking down the San Francisco River: by anijensen, Views[510]
         		 We stayed for two nights in the jungle. Not too rough—comfortable bed, electricity, how running water, and gourmet dinners.: by anijensen, Views[227]
         		 A green tea plantation in northeast Argentina, an industry that has exploded in recent years, mostly due to green tea’s huge popularity in the US and Europe.: by anijensen, Views[451]
         		 This huge rosewood tree has been singled out by the Argentinean government and made a national landmark. Rosewood is a protected species in Argentina, so what we see for sale is usually from Indonesia.: by anijensen, Views[738]
     
    More waterfalls: by anijensen, Views[1031]
         		 A coati pest in the park, lurking near the restaurants: by anijensen, Views[303]

         		 The Devil’s Throat, Iguazu National Park, Argentina: by anijensen, Views[1244]
     
    Our “native” guide (Marielise, blond hair, blue eyes, speaks German as well as English, hmmm) and Anita on a 1 km catwalk over the Iguazu River to get to the falls. Lots of water. : by anijensen, Views[284]
         		 Traditional dish consumed with traditional drink (Pisco Sour): by anijensen, Views[264]
         		 Guinea pig (aka “Myrtle chicharon” or “cuy al horno”), deep fried, garnished with roasted corn, served with a simple salad, and potatoes (lots of bones, lots of work for a little meat, tastes like a cross between chicken and goat): by anijensen, Views[2198]
         		 Cathedral across from the main square, Arequipa, Peru: by anijensen, Views[227]
         		 Relaxing in our (austere) hostel room in Arequipa: by anijensen, Views[207]
