Trips

Antarctica and Argentina

11/19/2021: Walked from the hotel to the reserve, which it turns out, closes early. Anyway, you can still look for ducks from the outside.



12/12/2021: We returned to the marsh in the morning, and then we ended up there in the afternoon as well.

Next Visit (Puerto Iguazu: 11/20/2021)

Argentina

2/18/2005: A walk around in the park for a couple of hours before we got back on the plane. The weather was hot and humid. The mosquito situation was fairly annoying.
