Our last day in the Buenos Aires capital is dedicated to exploring the San Telmo neighborhood.

This neighborhood has a lot of charm and a great personality. We walked around, enjoying its squares, parks, terraces and markets. The old mansions were divided into what they call conventillos, blocks of flats for poor families, although nowadays artists and bohemians occupy them.

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.
