Puerto Iguazu – Argentina

Cataratas, Caiperinhas, and Coatis.

Our journey to Puerto Iguazu at the very top of Argentina entailed undertaking our first overnight bus journey. While not the definition of luxury, this isn’t quite as bad as it might sound given that Argentinian buses are actually rather comfortable; our seats reclined about 60° and had a built in foot rest that turned the seat into a slightly inclined bed. The food provided is similar to airline food, and is basically guaranteed to include bread, cheese and ham in at least two forms; they also provide a glass of half-decent wine (or two) with dinner. As we settled down for the night we were treated to the sight of hundreds of glowworms luminescing in the fields beyond the road.
