Day 10 (October 29, 2019)   Puerto Iguazu

Before   

  Flight Trelew - Iguazu



  We’ve got an early flight to Buenos Aires for this day that is scheduled to leave Trelew at 7:10 AM.

   Our only purpose for this day is to arrive at Puerto Iguazu. For this, we’ve got two separate flights which we must link in Buenos Aires since this flight from Trelew lands in the same airport for the one to Iguazu: Aeroparque JorgeNewbery.

   Since this airport is in the middle of the city and close to Recoleta neighborhood, we could take advantage of all this to go to the hotel to leave our big bags and come back to the airport to make our trip to Iguazu lighter.

   If arrival at Buenos Aires is as scheduled, it will be 9 AM and we’ll have five until the next flight for these tasks.

   The flight to Iguazu plans to take off from Buenos Aires at 2 PM and land on Iguazu around 3:50 PM. Once in the hotel we could spend the rest of the day on getting knowledge of the environment and a stroll to Hito Tres Frontera: A lookout to the join of rivers Iguazu and Parana where the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet.

After

   Our taxi is waiting for us at 5:30 AM and, after a short ride, we’re in Trelew’s airport. We check in and board to our flight to Buenos Aires at 7:10 AM.

   The plane lands on the capital city by 9 AM and, after picking our bags up, we follow the plan we had for this day: leaving the big bags in the hotel. So, we take a taxi to go to the hotel and come back to the airport. We pay 490$ for this. After this, we still have some hours to kill in the airport. First, we check in our flight to Iguazu with Latam and then we make some time until 12 PM for having our lunch: matambre and choripan for a bit more than 700$, including drinks and homemade flan.

   Our target for today is already accomplish: we’re in Puerto Iguazu. After some relaxing time in the swimming pool, we go out to explore the town and getting some water and mosquito repellent, since these insects have already welcomed us.

   It’s hot and it’s still there when it’s dark, although in a lower version. We’ve been told that these days the area is reaching 40 degrees.
