Argentina's story I want to start a song from the song "Mary Poppins, goodbye": "It was last summer in mid-January." The fact is that in South America, winter begins in June, and therefore without warm shoes and jackets on the fur in July and August there is nothing to do here. The second important point: the country is giant, so if you have no pair of months, immediately decide what exactly you want to see.
The first mandatory point of our journey was the famous Waterfalls Iguatsu, about which experienced travelers say: "After they can impress only Niagara." By the way, it is worth a familiarity with the country from here and for purely practical considerations: since there is a crowded flight through the Atlantic, it is necessary to choose the most remote area, and Iguatsu - the edge of the geography of Argentina in all senses. The zone is bordered by Brazil and Paraguay, and because of this, the mobile phone immediately starts to go crazy. The Argentine part of the National Park accounts for eighty percent of local waterfalls, but from the Brazilian side of the cascades can be considered from the viewing sites located at the height.
Water shape
The main thing, without which you can't do in Iguatsu, - raincoat. Most of the year the weather here happens two types: small rain or pouring, and the study of the terrain for all begins the same - with a river cruise, the water of which in the winter period is painted in red and brown. At first, everything is decently: you are sitting in a boat, you watch the waterfalls, but as soon as Prorro is hanging, despite the swing, photograph them, the captain of the vessel gives the order to hide the technique in the packages and directs our duck shuttle directly in the heart of the cascade. There are no other rainfackers, Ice water completely impresses clothes, and the captain is a victoriously laugh. It is noticeable that his entertainment pleases much more than those who came across and wet to the thread of tourists. Something to dry out, we are going to consider waterfalls from the shore. However, local literality is completely concentrating on the falling water flows, the carmen, monkeys and tucanis walking along the paths, are important on the branches, and the roses, which at the sight of us are massively leaving. Roughs, or coaty, - southern relatives of raccoons ordinary, they have fruits without a picture, but equipped with a long moving trunk. The kind is the milestone creatures, but to touch them is strictly forbidden: one scratch is enough for urgent hospitalization into the infectious branch of the local hospital. And it seems, roses are well aware of how dangerous they are. Beasts behave frankly brazenly: surround tourists with a dense ring and require food. Paying Caataus Dan Chips, heading towards the Devil's throat - the main waterfall of the park. It is located in the center of the river, and wooden flooring lead to it. The devil's throat looks like a giant bubble funnel: the height of the water drop is there seven hundred meters, width - one hundred and fifty, in a word, the name of the waterfall is quite suitable.
Blue Glacier Perito Moren - the main thing for what it is worth going to the Patagonia

In the kingdom of cold and ice
But for a brief description of the Perito Morane glacier, in my opinion, the expression "Drawings of the Snow Queen" will fit. To get here, we flew to Al Calafate - the town of Santa Cruz, which is located at the border of the ice field of the South Patagonia. Perito Morena is located on the territory of the Los Gosyareas National Park.
At first, you go on the frost and moss tracks, after - on metal stairs and suddenly you see the giant piercing-blue crystals in the center of the reservoir, seemingly fantastic stalagmites that have grown to the sizes of skyscrapers. The glacier is even fascinated, and the Argentine in the summer of him often chopped huge pieces. However, for my taste, Perito Morena is beautiful in its fixed monumentality. Where else will you see the kingdom of azure ice, causing associations not only with the fairy tale of Andersen, but also with the chronicles of Narnia?

Buenas Nights, Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires became the final point of our journey. The city is customary called "Paris of Latin America", although in the architectural plan the center of the capital of Argentina is more reminiscent of Madrid. The same imperial, but, by and large, faceless mansions on wide prospects, between which modern highlights are pupred.
The most famous place of the city is the area of La Boca with multicolored corrugated iron houses, in which poor immigrants from Italy used to live. Everything is without surprises: colorfully and souveniro, and at the entrance to each second shops there are figurines Maradona, Messi, Pope Francis and Eva Peron. In the places of the last two personalities, it also makes sense to walk, the benefit is located in the city center. If you are interested in the biography of the current governor of the throne of St. Peter, look at Catedral Metropolitana's Cathedral - there Aires Jorio Mario Bergolo, who became Pope Francis, were dedicated to the Archbishops. Well, the Presidential Palace of Casa Rosada is associated with Eva Pereon. Remember how Madonna's role fulfilling her role on his balcony "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"?

Near the Palace there is a colors Opera House, it is notable not only to lush interiors, but also the fact that there was a "Gallery for Women": in the XIX century they did not allow them to sit next to men in public places. By the way, no matter how much the name of Eva Peron is the same musical, the Argentine lady is grateful to her, because for their rights she did a lot, and in general it became the first illegitimate woman from the bottom, who managed to take a high position. To make sure it is enough to look at the console cemetery. In the family crypt, Duarte, where Eva Peron's dust is resting, always flowers and burning lamps, and the cemetery itself is considered an important attraction of Buenos Aires. Here, Argentine politicians and cultural figures were buried, because there is a huge number of mausoleums and crypt with beautiful statues and obeliski, why the recruit looks like a Latin American analogue of Parisian per lash. It turns out, no matter how cool, and the conversion of Buenos Aires with the capital of France is still fair, at least at first glance an obvious similarity between the two cities and is not observed.
