As plans during a world trip frequently change, the chance of a short stopover in Rio de Janeiro came out of nowhere. My goal was at least to see the big 5 of Rio!
A hub called Buenos Aires
My first four weeks have been over fast, and so is my time in Buenos Aires.
You might wonder why I stayed that long in one place. As you might have seen with my other posts (Montevideo, Puerto Madryn, and Iguazu), I used Buenos Aires as a hub to experience amazing things during the weekends. During the week, I still had to work a couple of days remotely. As this time is finally over, my real sabbatical is about to start.
Food in Argentinia
If you travel to Argentina, everyone might ask you to eat as much steak as possible, as the meat might be excellent down here… First of all, yes, they are all right. The meat is fantastic, and it’s, compared to Europe, very cheap.
But there is more Argentina is offering, and I must mention other things about food, so let’s talk aside from the meat.
The Biggest Shower in the World
Yes, I had a shower (ok, let’s call it more storm) in the most enormous shower in the world: the Iguazu Falls. At peak, 7 Million liters per second of water are going down the 275 waterfalls. It was “only” 2.5 million liters per second during my time, but walking by this immense power feels hilarious. So why not take a boat ride into this? Yes, exactly, so I took two of them!
There are tons of reasons to visit Puerto Madryn
Tons of reasons? Why tons? Because of the most beautiful and calm creatures in the world: Whales! But read here also about my time with the penguins, many Lamas, Sea Lions, and one Amarillo.
Uruguay, a country with two faces
My time in Uruguay was short while visiting two cities, Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo. Some impressions I made I want to share with you.
