Buenos Aires - Iguazu

So the first 3 weeks of my travels have passed in a blur! I spent a few days getting to know Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. It is huge, with over 12 million people living there. I saw people doing tango in lovely squares. I went to a vibrant area called Boca where people paint their houses in bright colours and there are people made of papier mache on the balconies.

I saw a cemetary in Buenos Aires where the famous Eva Peron is buried. The cemetary had lots of small buildings, or mausoleums, to honour the dead and they were beautiful. It is very different to the cemetaries we have in Scotland.

I also went to a football game. The stadium was massive . The game was between River Plate (the Buenos Aires team) and Huracan. River were 3-0 down at half time but it ended 3-3! The fans play music and sing all the way through the match, even when they are losing!

I then travelled to Iguazu in the North of Argentina near Brazil. It is famous for its incredible waterfalls, the noise of the water flowing over the edge and crashing down at the bottom is really loud. In the area I also saw little animals called coatis (which are a little bit like a racoon) and lots of lizards and iguanas and butterflies. The waterfalls are bigger than the famous Niagra falls in America and it was a wonderful experience to see them.
