We buy frozen meat that they prepare for us in some refrigerators at the Duty Free of Ezeiza Airport. We recommend it, the meat was brutal and it endured the trip perfectly.

Our last day in the Buenos Aires capital is dedicated to exploring the San Telmo neighborhood.

This neighborhood has a lot of charm and a great personality. We walked around, enjoying its squares, parks, terraces and markets. The old mansions were divided into what they call conventillos, blocks of flats for poor families, although nowadays artists and bohemians occupy them.

Today we visited the neighborhood of Boca and Puerto Madero.

Today we visit the Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. For this we take a public bus, very close to the hostel. We are about fifteen kilometers from the border with Brazil. We stop at the border and get off the bus, pass a checkpoint and are asked for our passport in which they stamp a permit for one day.

Today we visit the Iguazu Falls. The local bus passes in front of the hostel, you have to raise your hand to make it stop.  We arrive at the entrance of the Argentine Park.

We wake up, swim in the pool and have breakfast. We visit again the center of Salta, at 2 pm our flight leaves to Iguazu.

We get up early, have breakfast and are picked up in a van to start the excursion.

In the northwest of the Andes, nature shapes the rocks in a magical way. Craggy peaks, winding ravines, rocky landscapes. You breathe an Andean air with traditional craftsmanship totally different from the rest of the country.

Today we don't have to get up early, we have a quiet breakfast and at 12 o'clock we are at the International Airport of Bariloche Tte. Luis de Candelaria. Our flight stops in Buenos Aires with destination Salta.

We have problems again but this time with the airline LAN. In Buenos Aires we are 4 hours late and we have two hours left!
