Today we visit the Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. For this we take a public bus, very close to the hostel. We are about fifteen kilometers from the border with Brazil. We stop at the border and get off the bus, pass a checkpoint and are asked for our passport in which they stamp a permit for one day.

We get up early, have breakfast and are picked up in a van to start the excursion.

In the northwest of the Andes, nature shapes the rocks in a magical way. Craggy peaks, winding ravines, rocky landscapes. You breathe an Andean air with traditional craftsmanship totally different from the rest of the country.

Today we don't have to get up early, we have a quiet breakfast and at 12 o'clock we are at the International Airport of Bariloche Tte. Luis de Candelaria. Our flight stops in Buenos Aires with destination Salta.

We have problems again but this time with the airline LAN. In Buenos Aires we are 4 hours late and we have two hours left!

It's stopped raining and the sun is up, we're having breakfast at the inn. Our idea was to spend one day climbing up to Poincenot camp to admire the Fitz Roy and another day approaching Laguna Torre to see the Cerro Torre, so we decided to combine a route that joins these two wonders of nature.
