Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls (Argentina), originally uploaded by Tak from HK.

It is the most forceful sight I have ever seen. The Iguazu Falls is located between Argentina and Brazil where most of the falls are in Argentina. So, you can get a closer look in Argentina but overview from Brazil. It is really fall(s) as there are many falls around the area.

The most awesome one is Devil´s Throat which you can get really wet even though you are on the top of the fall. Powerful!

After that, I went to the bird park which has different interesting bird, very close to me and my camera!

San Ignacio Mini

It located in my way from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls. San Ignacio Mini is one of the remains of Jesuit Mission.

I am not good at history and I do not know much about the Jesuit. So I found the ruins are not very special.

Buenos Aires

After 52 hour bus ride, changed 4 buses, I finally arrived Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

It is famous for steak and tango. It also has the widest road named Av 9 de Julio and different styles neighborhoods, like colorful La Boca.

And the most important, the Argentina girls are really beautiful.
But, sorry guys, no photos available.

Did I mention it is very hot here?

Ushuaia

Ushuaia, originally uploaded by Tak from HK.

Ushuaia, the southmost city of the world. It is part of Argentina, but it is strange that when I came by bus, I must pass through Chile again and then back to Argentina. So, this is an isolated part of Argentina when you see the map.

There is a lighthouse that happen in the movie, Happy Together.

I waited here for 12 days as I found a last minute deal to Antarctica, the south pole of the earth. The trip last for 11 days and I believe it worth my waiting and the money.

So, what I do during these days? Trekking to Martial Glacier, Tierra del Fuego National park, visiting museum, watching James Bond movie, cooking meals, seeing beavers, taking the end of the world train, writing, and mostly just hanging around with nothing to do.

Moreno Glacier

Crossing the border, I am now in Argentina. Here, the cost is similar to Chile, i.e. not cheap.

Moreno Glacier is located 80km from El Calafate and it is very beautiful. People waiting at the platform, only 300m from the glacier, wishing to get a photo of falling ice-peaks. And, you can hear the cracking sound of ice coming from the glacier!

Check the photos and see if you can spot the falling ice.
