Visiting Iguazu Falls at New Year

March 18, 2013 by Arianwen Morris 16 Comments

Visiting Iguazu Falls at New Year

To add to the confusion, I visited Iguazu Falls on New Year's Eve in 2012 and there was conflicting information about whether or not the park would even be open. As it turned out, most … [Read more...]

Christmas in Gaiman: a Lonely Planet Fail

For all you hardened travellers out there, I’m going to let you in on a little secret... Sometimes that bible of yours – your most treasured possession; the guidebook – can be wrong. So very wrong. Strangely enough, in the event that led me to this discovery, my friend and I were relying on both a Lonely Planet and a Rough Guide. Their crime? … [Read more...]

Perito Moreno Glacier – One of the Natural Wonders of the World

Before I'd even started planning my trip to South America, there was one place I knew I had to go - Perito Moreno Glacier. A friend of mine had told me she was brought to tears by how incredible it was. Located in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina, it spans an immense 250 square kilometres. Incredibly, this doesn't even make it the biggest … [Read more...]

Paintballing in Bariloche

I'd been staying in the scenic lakeside town of Bariloche in Argentina. The town is famous for its ski slopes, but I'm not a skier and I was there in the Argentinian summer, when most of the snow had melted away. The more normal activities to do in the area include hiking, rafting, kayaking, scuba diving, horse riding and cycling. But, when I … [Read more...]

Drinking Wine in Mendoza

Everyone knows I love a glass of red. Back home, I'll always share a bottle with a friend, or even nurse one to myself if everyone else is on the vodkas... But nothing comes close to the experience of drinking wine in Mendoza.
