These wonders of nature formed as the Iguazú River hurtles off the Paraná Plateau in the form of hundreds of waterfalls, at a rate of 1,500 square metres (gallons) per second, mark the local border between Argentina’s Misiones state and Brazil’s Paraná state (with Paraguay’s Ciudad del Este right nearby, as well). And let me tell you, these pictures don’t even do them…

Argentina already has a dozen cultural and natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but in the list of 43 new sites released several weeks ago, another grimmer one was added: the former Navy School of Mechanics in Buenos Aires, where opponents of the military régime of the 1970s were tortured and killed during the "dirty war": https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1681

You´ve heard of the aurora borealis (Northern Lights), of course, but what about the aurora australis?

Well here's an interesting twist: The Argentine government has implemented a new regulation allowing visitors using credit and debit cards to get more pesos than the official rate gives. Will it help? https://www.traveller.com.au/argentina-adds-special-exchange-rate-f...
