ARGENTINA: First Impressions

argentina argentina

 

I am not very excited about Argentina, although it is a nice country. It has two major highlights: Iguazu falls and Patagonia. Unfortunately I cannot visit Patagonia now, for there are some floods there and some roads have been washed away. Also, it is quite chili down there right now. But I am going to see the biggest waterfalls on this planet for sure.


First, I was surprised how big Argentina was. It is as big as India. No wonder that when I took a bus from Mendoza to Puorto Iguazu It took 36 hours to get there. But Argentina is also famous for football, good wine, tango and the best beef steakes in the world.

 

I did not try the wine, but I tried a steak and I was striving to finish the meal. This is what I got for 26 Pesos (around $USD 8): one huge steak, quarter of chicken, sausage, piece of pork, cornish pastry, heaps of vegetables and 2 pints of Budweiser lager. After I had eaten all this food, I sat at the table for another 20 minutes, for I could not move :)
Now, lets check out those famous waterfalls.
