We took the over night cama bus to San Ignacio, leaving Buenos Aires Estacion at 655PM. Cama meant we had fully reclining seats (think first class plane cabins), dinner and breakfast served on board, movie-on-the-road and what's more, we managed to reserve seats right up front and had a grand view of the red earth roads up north ! The northern parts of Argentina were sparsely populated with little towns dotted along the Rio Uruguay with inspiring names like Delicia, El Dorado, Wanda, Mineral etc., but the most notable feature was the red soils covering this part of Argentina (think Red Centre Australia).
We reached San Ignacio at 830AM after a relaxing night on the bus and the town was quiet and residents friendly. We stayed at a cabana and made use of the well-equipped kitchen and Mandy cooked ourselves a grand cheesy spaghetti. We visited the San Ignacio Mini - the ruins left behind by the Jesuits Missions and the indigenous tribes of Guranis. We enjoyed this restful sojourn after the grand metropolis that was Buenos Aires.
Next came the mighty Iguazu Falls (Gurani words for Big Waters) ! The experience of coming up-close to the un-forgiving power, gushing noises, volume, widths and heights of the many waterfalls, the tropical butterflies, rainbows, the excited visitors and the drenching by the waterfalls' out-sprays would forever etched in our memories and literally left us breathless when we stood close to one of the many cataratas ! I will just leave you with a few of the awesome photos !
