Colón, Entre Ríos, Argentina

Now that I have left Buenos Aires and set off on my travels, I figured that it was about time I started putting up some posts. Buenos Aires had really grown on me and I was beginning to feel quite at ease in the city. However, my Spanish is now at a decent enough level that I have the confidence to start exploring. I meant to add some posts of my impressions of BA. I will try to do so and put some photos online as well.

I have just arrived in Colón, in the province of Entre Ríos (between the Uruguay and Paraná Rivers). It was a 5 hour bus trip, so I would guess that we are about 350km north of BA. Colon is on the Uruguay River. I am heading up to the Iguazú Waterfalls in the northeastern corner of the country. However, I thought that I would break the journey up and see what was in between.

The principal mode of long distance travel in Argentina (and South America) is by coach. They have let the British designed rail system disintegrate to almost nothing. And there are no deals as far as plane travel goes. From what I understand the buses are generally are cheap, efficient and relatively comfortable. I would say my first Argentinean bus trip bears this out. But there are many more kms yet to cover. ¡Vamos a ver!
