061012 - Esteros de Iberá, ARG

It was about time to get going. Another day in Mercedes and I would have climbed up the walls. So I bought a ticket to Pelligrini, the next town in the National Park called Esteros de Iberá, the wetlands. The big attraction in the region and one of the "to-do-things" when in Argentinia. It was amazing. Wildlife to the max. I cannot recall all the names of all the animals and birds I saw. From monkeys to deer to caymans... to one animal which belongs to the group of rats, and therefore is know as the biggest rat on the planet. They make a funny noise, almost barking! See for yourself...

This boat tour was on Friday morning. I got burned pretty bad. But still wasn't finished. In the afternoon I went for a little horse ride. Well, I knew before horses aren't really my thing. I mean, it was alright. But they just don't do what I want them to. I guess, when it comes down to making a choice I would be always choosing a motorbike. ;o)

When I was in Pelligrini I had lunch, dinner and almost breakfast at the best place in town. A very friendly woman and her husband Jorge who opened up a Comedor around March. Right now they are constructing their own place cause they are only renting the current location. So, if you're ever in town, ask for Jorge and his wife. It is the S***!
