Where do I begin?

At the beginning, I guess.

We have started to travel here in Argentina.

Our first big trip was to fly north 1600 km to Iguazu to see the falls there. It is on the border with Brazil, in a rain forest, with monkeys in the trees,racoon-like things sniffing around the garbage cans (surprise),toucans flying around,cool flowers.....and butterflies EVERYWHERE!It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site (just like Lake Louise).

This is the view from our hotel - the only hotel located in this national park and worth staying at.
We travelled there with my brother and his wife. Who came to visit from Montreal.

Like every national park, they dont want you to feed the local wildlife. We did the full Iguazu Green Passport of adventures - rafting above the falls, zodiac below (and INTO) the fallstruck through the jungle,and a guided tour of the falls themselves.
One thing we did learn was how to 'Travel Safely in Argentina' !
