Just a few pictures!

I just got in from one trip (to Iguazú Falls and the Misiones province) this afternoon and I'm headed out again tomorrow to Jujuy, Salta Tucuman so I don't have time to update but here are a few pictures...At the Cataratas (waterfalls) de Iguazú. This one was called La Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat).There were so many rainbows because of all the mist in the air-- the entire park seemed like a fantasy world.
Maya and I at one of the overlooks of the park. you could see the falls from different levels and lots of animals and plants too.
Preparing food at the guaraní indigenous community Fortin Mborore in Misiones.
This is the school for the community started in 1986 by Angela. She helped develop the community of Mborore in 1983 after the dictatorship and then started a bilingual school (spanish and guarani) for the children of the community practically by herself. She had incredible stories of the beginning of the community and was a great guide to the guaraní community.
The group outside in the ruins of the Jesuit missions in San Ignacio. These were started in the early 1600s and were surprisingly open to visitors. After the tour we were able to wander around the park and climb on rocks (aka 400 year old ruins) on our own.
Me inside of a tree that gives you energy if you touch it and something about getting married if you walk around it three times. It was planted near a big stone column and actually grew around/engulfed the entire column.

That's it for now, I'll explain more and add more pictures later.

Lots of love,
Caroline
