South American Tango: Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay
For two weeks in March 2010 we sampled the best of central South America, focusing on the countries of Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay.
South America: Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires was the first stop on our central South American journey. Our email provides all the details of our time there.
South America: Uruguay
Uruguay was the last country that we visited during our South American trip. Here we spent time in the historic city of Colonia del Sacramento and in the capital, Montevideo.
Email: Greetings from Encarnacion, Paraguay
When we last wrote we were in Buenos Aries. After our third and final day there, we boarded a bus heading to Posadas, Argentina which is about an 815 mile, 14 hour trip away. Then we were driven about three miles to the Paraguayan border.
Email: Greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay
We are on the last full day of our trip through central South America, having arrived in our fourth and final country, Uruguay. It is the smallest Spanish-speaking country in South America, having only about four million inhabitants.

Argentina Planning Update: Researching the Trip
The planning for this next journey, scheduled for March 2010, is progressing slowly but surely. It is now just four months away and, since the last blog entry on this subject, we have purchased a guidebook and done some Internet research to try to get the itinerary nailed down.
Planning a New Trip to Argentina
We have decided to take our next journey, this time visiting Argentina and surrounding area in March 2010. Having never been there, we are already beginning to plan our time in that part of the world.
