I came back to Argentina. Two months ago, I was in Northern Argentina, but I was mostly driving to get to Paraguay. So I came back to get to see the country better – this huge country seemed to deserve it. I’ll travel Argentina for as much as possible before I conclude the South American …
Uruguay is much smaller than its neighboring countries. And it’s sweet to be reminded that I can get to almost anywhere in the country within a couple hours of driving. And the roads are, to quote wikitravel, boringly straight and flat. I’ll have to spend more time in Uruguay at the end of this month …

The Iguazu falls is shared by two countries: Brazil and Argentina. I visited the Brazilian side in 2009, about a month before my service finished in Paraguay.
