Argentina 2004

First time I was in Argentina was in January 1997 (without a camera). This big country fascinated me, and I thought that one day I should return, and in autumn 2004 it happened. On my first trip I flew directly to Ushuaia on Tierra del Fuego, and then rode by bus, stretch by strech, northwards. In Tucumán I had to turn south, since my time was running out. This time I returned to visit the places I did not get to see last time: In the north-east the enormous wetlands of Estoros del Iberá and the big water falls of Iguazú on the border to Brazil and in the north-west all the scenery in the Salta area with Tren a las nubes, the train to the clouds, as the foremost attraction.

I took many photos, far too many to gather all on one web page. So this page here is a summary with the best pictures from the trip. Then there are a number of pages that dwells on particular places and excursions:

• Esteros del Iberá – enourmous wetlands with rich wild-life. (52 pics.)
• Cataratas del Iguazú – the magnificient waterfalls on the border to Brazil. (77 pics.)
• On the Road to Cachi – An excursion from Salta through a fascinating mountain landscape. (28 pics.)
• Parque Nacional de Calilegua – a national park north-east of Salta with cloud forrest. (25 pics.)
• Tren a las nubes – Salta's number one tourist attraction, the train takes you 4200 m above sea level. (69 pics.)
• By Car to Cafayate – A two-day trip through a valley with amazing mountain formations. (40 pics.)
• The Flamingo Lakes – A day excursion with private guide to some lakes in the inner of the Andes. (23 pics.)
• Tilcara, Humahuaca and Iruya – Three days in Quechua-land north of Salta. (42 pics.)
• Miscellanedous Argentina – Everything else with just a handful of pictures per place: Concordia, San Iganacio de Miní, Resistencia, Salta, San Lorenzo, Jujuy and Buenos Aires. (38 pics.)
