Don Silva Estancia

Don Silvano Estancia is one hour from the City of Buenos Aires, this is a spot to enjoy the vastness of the Argentinian countryside and the gaucho hospitability. You are welcomed by a Gauchos with an introduction, and feast on baked empanadas, red wine, and soft drinks. Inside the ranch there is four acres of land, comfortable victorian style lodges. The gauchos perform shows in the large house hall, which houses the El Galpón restaurant and the Caballeriza restaurant. The Parilla is excellent.

Iguazu Falls

Iguazu National Park is undoubtedly one of the most imposing natural attractions in Argentina, it is situated both in Argetina and Brazil. if you like to see it on the Brazilian side, you will pay the reprocity fee and for any additional tours. Either way, it is a must see!!










Taller than Niagara Falls, twice as wide with 275 cascades spread in a horsehoe shape over nearly two miles of the Iguazu River. Iguazú Falls are the result of a volcanic eruption which left yet another large crack in the earth. During the rainy season of November - March, the rate of flow of water going over the falls may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second.

You can take tours or sight see on your own. You will cover a lot of ground, so make sure you put your most comfortable shoes on because you will be walking up in down stairs, and some areas have steep hills.

I road this boat right into the cascading waterfall and got complete drenched. I recommend bathing suits and flip fops. Once you have finished and changed into dry clothes, you will then have to hike up a steep rocky stair case back up to the hiking path.

In Iguazu National Park there are plenty of activities. Outside of the park there are lush jungles in which I visited "The Guarani Tribe." These are the natives who live in the villages in the jungle. I had an opportunity to horseback right through Iguazu jungle and discovered that it should be respected because of all the different species of plant life, insects, and animals. In the jungle, right at my finger tips was an abundance of food, medicine, tools for survival, all for free. On the hand, The Jungle had poisonous plants, insects, and food that would make you very ill or kill you. On this excursion you have the option of taking an hour or two hour  horseback ride. I took the two horseback ride, and highly recommend it. The weather is cool in during this part of the season, and I did not need insect repelent. Beware of hairy catipillars, they are poisonous to both predators and humans.

Learn how to survive in  the jungle

Simplicity at best..the Guarani people using the land, they allow the shell of a fruit to dry out and they use it to brush their hair, as demonstrated in clip below. When they want food, they set traps and feed their families. When they want tools to help build or fix things they get it from the jungle. How many things have you use this week made from mother nature?

      

    

                                                                                                                                                        

  



El Tigre

 El Tigre, Buenos Aires is just one hour outside of Capital Federal, Buenos Aires. If you want to get away from the hassle of the inner city and get the ultimate challenge, or relaxation then Tigre is the place to go for just that. El Tigre offers an amusement park, biking, cruises down the river, rowing, soccer, and so much more. If you are looking for more down time you can take peaceful walks along the river or in the parks.

I had a blast cruising down the Tigre River. I had a rare opportunity to learn how to navigate the yacht, and learn controls. I felt like the co-captain for twenty minutes and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the excursion.



Along the River there is so much to see!!

I got of my yacht cruise and jumped for joy. In Tigre my experience became more than what I expect because I believe the people are passionate about what they do. After my departure off the yacht, I was ready for the Argentine Parilla which was being prepared while I was crusing on the river. I recommend the Parilla, the Argentines have some of the best beef in the world. For this excursion, the parrilla meal was included in the price.

My smile means, I am so glad I made it to the table where the feast is about to begin. 

Evita Museum

The Evita Peron  museum is on the west side of Palermo on Lafinur 2988 C.A. de Buenos Aires. Housed in the museum you will find scores of photos of Eva with her family. Her mom was Juana Ibarguren and later married Juan Duarte, Eva's dad. Eva Peron was born a Duarte  lived with that surname for several years before she married Juan Peron. I could not help but notice that her mom, dad and her husband shared a similar first name.

Maria Eva Duarte was born in Argentina in 1919. When she was seven years old, her father died, and she, along with her mothers and sisters, had to work as cooks for a rich family in order to survive. In 1933, when she had an acting part in the play "Student's Arise", she decided that she was going to be an actress. So, she went to Buenos Aires to find acting jobs, which was very difficult. She worked as a model at times and got parts in a few plays, but it was hard to have enough food and money to live on.

 Me chilling in Eva Peron's day room taking it all in.





As First Lady, Argentinians call her by her more informal name, Evita, she helped out the poor and the country as much as she could. She organized the Peronista party's women's branch, showing her support of women's rights. She also created the Eva Peron Foundation, which helped people get money, housing, and clothing. Mostly, she helped out the poor, whom she called "los descamisados," meaning "the shirtless ones," by establishing orphanages for children. After years of selfless work to ensure the poor and women rights were respect. Sorrowfully, she suffered from cancer and died on July 26, 1952.
