Okay. There are miles of protected semi-tropical bush in all directions around Iguazu Falls. But there’s one very clean little restaurant area. This critter is the Argentinian version of a raccoon. He waltzed right out of the bush. On that trail to the swimming hole I showed you last post Daniel and I passed a family of ten. In the wild, masses of these things can be a bit unnerving, but they’re very safe.

Here are a few other marvels you’ll see in the bush, including a swath of the kind of yellow butterflies that absolutely SWARM across the road to town, figs, and a flowering tree out of Avatar.

Let’s leave Iguazu Falls with a few spectacular views that never made it into my first post here. Let’s start with a view looking down from above on that swimming hole I took you to last time:

Next post it’s off to the colonial capital of Salta in Argentina’s north-west, and a trip through pre-Incan ruins, salt flats, cactus deserts, multi-coloured mountains and much, much more with our hilarious, young driver and guide Pablo “Look Ma, No Hands!” Perez Sancho (just kidding) who joined us for four days of mountain touring.

Yrs.,
