What a journey we have been on.. this one has been especially eventful.. starting with the end of the world  and then exploring the stunning Torres del Paine National Park . We went from Chile to Argentina , hiked in El Chalten  and then travelled north to see Iguazu Falls . Now we end our trip in Buenos Aires.  If you read last weeks post you know we had some flight issues. In the end instead of landing around 11pm we landed closer to 1am.

We checked into our hotel and after a quick refresh headed out for our New Years Eve dinner.  The next morning after a hotel buffet breakfast we headed to Brazil. The hotel arranged for us a wonderful driver who helped us cross the border. We had applied and gotten our evisas before coming.  Yes, US citizens need a visa to enter Brazil.   We didn't know it then but this driver was going to become a lifesaver. Our first hiccup was at the border.
