9. Patagonia

The first eleven pictures below were taken on a horse trekking expedition we took during our visit to Patagonia:

In the photos above and below, the Updala glacier is visible in the far distance



The last eleven pictures below show some other views we saw while in Patagonia.

The view from the dining room of a hotel we stayed in. Even though it's desolate outside, one can still find extremely nice places to stay :-).

10. Iguazú falls

The Iguazú falls lie on the Iguazú river. One side of the river is Argentinian, and the other side is Brazilian. We visited both sides, so part of this holiday was actually spent in Brazil. And although it was a bit touristy, we took an enjoyable inflatable boat ride along the river itself right up to and underneath one of the waterfalls, getting completely soaked in the process :-). Apart from the last picture at the bottom, all photos were either taken on the Brazilian side of the falls, or from the inflatable boat.

A picture taken from the inflatable boat, showing some of the other tourists on the ride. The photo below shows another inflatable boat, just after the occupants had been taken for a shower underneath the waterfall on the left.
