Gorgeous!
I’m back to the bustling city of Buenos Aires, and missing already the splendor and beauty of the Patagonia. Our trip was great, too short, but we brought back tones of pictures from that unforgettable region of Argentina. I will, of course, post some of them to my other weekly blog when time allows. For now, here’s a view of the so famous Llao Llao Hotel, located between the Lake Nahuel Huapi and the Lake Moreno.
Puerto Iguazú
For this Saturday photo, I bring you back to Iguazú falls. Its main touristic city, Puerto Iguazú is situated in the northeast of Argentina, and is 300 km away from the Capital City of the Province – Posadas City – and is the city that borders on Brazil and Paraguay through the concourse of Paraná and Iguazú Rivers. It is a very laid-back place, its main attraction are the waterfalls. Oh and something else, the climate is always very hot and humid!!!
Avec cette photo, je vous ramene aux chutes d’Iguazú. Sa principale ville touristique, Puerto Iguazú, est située au nord-est de l’Argentine, a 300 km de la capitale de la Province – Posadas City. La ville, Puerto Iguazú, est encadrée par le Brésil et le Paraguay par le biais des fleuves Paraná et Iguazú. C’est un endroit décontracté, dont la principale attraction sont les chutes d’eau. Un autre petit détail, le climat est toujours étouffant et trés humide!!!
Iguazu Falls
Back to Iguazu Falls. This is what I call getting into the real thing 
As part of their “Gran Aventura” package, on board of a zodiac, armed with life jacket, and they ride you right under the falls. The white foam on the left, this is where they take us. Quite spectacular, more when you seat in the front, as we were, one get soaked entirely. Once under, the noise around you is phenomenal, and the people’s screams even more. After 3 rounds under the falls, they ride you along the river. Scary at first, it turned to be a really great experience 
Nous revoila aux chutes d’Iguazu. Voila ce que j’appele passer aux choses sérieuses. Dans leur package de “Gran Aventura”, a bord d’un zodiaque, vetu d’un gilet de sauvetage, ils vous aménent directement sous les chutes. C’est vraiment spectaculaire, ca l’est encore plus, quand on est assis devant, comme nous l’étions, on en ressort trempé completement. Une fois sous les chutes, le bruit qui vous entoure est assourdissant, les cris des gens le sont encore plus. Apres 3 passages consécutifs sous les chutes, ils nous amenent faire un tour le long de la riviere. Impressionant au début, ca a été en fait une sacrée experience
Mono in the jungle
I’m happy to post my 101 posting today!! It has been interesting and quite challenging to post a picture every day, and most of all it has been really nice to have you discover daily, Buenos Aires in pictures.
–Today I wanted to share a picture taken in the Iguazul National Park last week end. A Mono or monkey, in English, posing for the tourists. First time I got to see one, apart from my multiple excursions to the zoo . But to see one in its natural environment is absolutely nice. Alongside the waterfalls at Iguazu, the extraordinary variety of species of animals has become one of the outstanding features of the park.
Je suis contente de faire ma 101 entree-blog aujourd’hui!! Cela a ete tres interessant et digne d’un challenge, tous les jours, de mettre en ligne une photo, mais plus que tout ca a ete un plaisir de vous faire decouvrir Buenos Aires au travers de photos quotidiennes.
–Aujourd’hui, je voulais vous montrer une photo prise au Park National d’Iguazu le week end dernier. Un Mono ou singe en Francais, qui pose pour les touristes. C’etait la premiere fois que j’en voyais un dans son habitat naturel. Moi qui suis plutot habituee a en voir au zoo . D’en voir un dans son environnement naturel est quand meme quelque chose d’extraordinaire. A côté des chutes d’eau, la variété extraordinaire d’espèces animales est devenue une des caractéristiques remarquables du parc.
First sight of Iguazu Falls
Back to Buenos Aires, back to work in 2 hours. And yes Iguazu Falls was a blast. I was told it is beautiful, spectacular, immense open space where the water noise will stay in your head long after you’ve seen the falls. I have to say that all of this is true, and it is much more than that. It was a never before seen spectacle for me, a beauty of nature incredibly magic. Between walks in the jungle, a ride in a zodiac right under the falls (sensational!), a ride in a military truck, and splendid views of the Iguazu falls from the Argentinian and Brazilian sides, it was a week-end to remember.
I will randomly share some pix in the next few weeks. Today, pic. number 1, taken from Brazil, at the end of the tour. I will try to add some info. about the park as well.
