From the Iguazu falls to Uruguay.

Hey lads! During the last week we have been rushing up throughout North Argentina and yesterday we got to Uruguay after crossing by boat from Buenos Aires. Why? Because we were dying to get to the beach and lay down under the sun while doing nothing! Yeah, we really feel like that before heading down to Patagonia.
From Salta we went to Iguazu National Park, and Wow! It did not disappoint us at all! The first shock were the temperatures, it was like being in an oven with almost 40º and very humid. The waterfalls are truly impressive, spectacular. Their power and sheer noise are incredible, almost scary! It is not just one waterfall but loads of them scattered around, the immensity of the whole place is what makes it an unforgettable experience. We visited both sides, the Argentinian and the Brazilian (yeah, at the end we went to Brazil...). After this we can say that the Argentinian side is more shocking and it offers more view points including the Devil's Throat, a mighty fall plunging thousands of liters down with a deafening noise. From the Brazilian side we could get a general perspective of all the falls. While walking around we were more than grateful every time that we got wet!
On the way up to Iguazu we stopped one day at San Ignacio de Mimi, a small village in the Misiones province that boasts the most impressive ruins of the Jesuit Missions. A place worth to check out!
Afterwards, bus time! We have to tell you that the Argentinian buses are something amazing lads! Among the best in the world they are super comfortable, fast and secure. Some companies even have their own service areas where they stop, drop you and feed you! And if you pay some extra cash they even have an stewardess and you can play bingo while travelling! We have not been in that situation so far! The only negative points is that, so far, we have already watched 3 or 4 Steven Seagal films...
From Iguazu to Buenos Aires it took us almost 20 hours and then we jumped into a ferry to cross the "Rio de La Plata" to Colonia, Uruguay. Today we will visit some friends that we met in the Inca Trail and then, off to the beach, finally!
Loads of hugs and kisses!
