27/12/2017 Guira Oga, bus to Buenos Aires

By Anonymous
Packing in the morning and we kept our rucksacks at the reception in our hotel so we can get them later, as our bus is at 7:15pm. 

Then we walked 4km to Güirá Oga, which is a animals refugee kind of thing at the edge of Puerto Iguazu town. The walk to that place is not so pleasant, as you walk right next to the road. 

The entrance fee is 200 pesos per person (cash) and they only do guided tours. They have also tours in English, but only when available and we didn’t want to wait till the afternoon. So we waited about 40 minutes and then sat on a trailer behind a small tractor. Our guide was excellent, spoke English as well and he knew what he was talking about exactly. There is a lot of birds to see and some mammals as well. The tour takes 90 minutes and it is very enjoyable. Every animal they have there has a story why it is there. 




After we finished, we were thinking how to get back to the town and two older guys who were on the tour with us offered a lift in their car. And the had similar way as we needed. 

Then we had lunch at El Árbol Real (burger 135 pesos, homemade pasta 115 pesos). Little talk with some German travellers and the we went to pickup our rucksacks and came back to El Árbol Real for a coffee (coffee and capuchino 110 pesos) and wait for our bus to Buenos Aires. 


The bus company we had tickets for is called Via Bariloche. They arrived almost on time, checked in our rucksacks, put numbers on them like at the airport, checked our tickets and our passports. We bought Cama type of the seats, top floor and first two seats with the view. On the bus, an American guy named Paul sat next to us. And we had very good conversation.

8/1/2018 leaving Torres and back in Puerto Natales

By Anonymous
The rain didn’t stop. And the rain didn’t stop until 2pm. We didn’t sleep, as Denisa discovered some sort of claustrophobic issue inside of the tent and woke up freaked out almost immediately after she felt asleep. Getting out and in to the tent while it was raining at night made our tent and thing more wet. Towards the morning, high condensation of humidity in our tent started making our sleeping bags wet too. One the rain slowed down, we got up and tried to cook porridge. The water from the camp was dirty (apparently drinkable), but the boiling didn’t make it less dirty and anyway, it just started raining more heavy again.  Fed up, throwing the cooking gear next to the tent and going to the central building to cover and have breakfast there. Two coffees and two muffins 8000 pesos quite expensive, but doesn’t matter. We waited here until 12:30 and then went back to pack our tent and things. My jacket was dry again and we successfully packed everything during light rain and ...
