I haven&apos;t seen some of them again, but I still follow their adventures on social media. Others, however, stayed closer or have itineraries that take them back and forth, eventually bringing them back to Buenos Aires. Whenever that happens, I don&apos;t hesitate to take a little trip to the city center to visit them and catch up. That&apos;s what happened with my friend Noe, &lt;strong&gt;with whom I&apos;ve already reunited three times to keep adding more stories to our collection 😃.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Si hay algo que me gustó de mi etapa de mochilera, es que ahora tengo varios amigos desparramados por el mapa. A algunos de ellos no los volví a ver, pero sigo sus aventuras a través de las redes sociales. Otros en cambio, se quedaron más cerca, o tienen itinerarios que van y vienen y en algún momento vuelven a pasar por Buenos Aires. Cada vez que eso sucede, no dudo en hacerme una escapada hasta el centro de la ciudad para ir a visitarlos y ponernos al día. &lt;strong&gt;Eso fue lo que pasó con mi amiga Noe, con quien ya nos reencontramos tres veces para seguir sumando anécdotas 😃.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Noe&apos;s visit to the city of Buenos Aires coincided with the DJ priest&apos;s event, which I had already been planning to attend for a long time. Having her there was a bonus, and without really planning it, we ended up organizing a weekend of sightseeing around the city. To make my stay more comfortable, I booked a room at the hostel where she was staying for the weekend, and we took the opportunity to explore as much as we could. On Saturday afternoon, we walked around some of the city streets since she didn&apos;t know them. At night, we went to the DJ&apos;s party and stayed until midnight, and the next day, we got up early to go sightseeing around the Recoleta area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;La visita de Noe a la Ciudad de Buenos Aires coincidió justo con el evento del cura DJ al que yo ya tenía planeado ir hace tiempo. Contar con la presencia de ella fue un plus, y sin querer queriendo, terminamos organizando un fin de semana de turistas en la ciudad. Para poder hospedarme más cómoda, reservé una habitación en el hostel en donde ella estaba durante el fin de semana y aprovechamos para pasear todo lo que pudimos. El sábado a la tarde recorrimos un poco las calles de la ciudad ya que ella no las conocía, a la noche fuimos a la fiesta del DJ y nos quedamos hasta la medianoche, y al día siguiente, nos levantamos temprano para ir a pasear por la zona de Recoleta.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

Well, that weekend there were two good reasons: one was the visit of a traveling friend I hadn&apos;t seen in a long time, and the other was the curious religious electronic music show. &lt;strong&gt;Both things came together to spend an incredible night of partying at what was an epic event with a massive turnout 😃.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Imagínense mi reacción cuando escuché acerca del show gratuito que daría un Cura DJ en las calles de la &lt;strong&gt;ciudad de Buenos Aires&lt;/strong&gt;: lo primero que pensé fue &quot;no me lo puedo perder&quot;. Si hay algo que me gusta hacer cuando estoy en casa es ir a visitar la ciudad, y más aún cuando hay un buen motivo para hacerlo. Bueno, ese fin de semana hubieron dos buenos motivos: uno fue la visita de una amiga viajera que no veía hacía un largo tiempo, y la otra, el curioso show religioso de música electrónica. &lt;strong&gt;Ambas cosas se fusionaron para pasar una noche increíble de fiesta, en lo que fue un evento épico y con concurrencia masiva 😃.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Noe is a traveling friend I met while traveling in Salta in 2024. We shared a two-week volunteer experience in Cafayate, and since then, we have stayed in touch. We met again in Paraguay in May last year while I was still traveling, and it wasn&apos;t until April this year that we saw each other again. She continued her nomadic journey until that point, when she stayed in the city of Buenos Aires, and of course, I made a little getaway to go visit her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Noe es una amiga viajera que conocí mientras estaba viajando en Salta en el año 2024. Con ella compartimos un voluntariado de dos semanas en Cafayate y desde entonces, seguimos en contacto. Nos volvimos a ver en mayo del año pasado en Paraguay mientras yo seguía viajando y no fue hasta abril de este año que nos volvimos a ver. Ella continuó con su viaje nómade hasta ese momento, en el que tuvo una estadía en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y yo por supuesto me hice una escapada para ir a visitarla.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/242DESK58duevaR5pmQkR4m8Y2fj9MmFoYqqzZs5pbbS7c52TNjsekdiXLUqzHnZZfTxQ.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;IMG_20260418_184051450_HDR.jpg&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coincidentally, her visit coincided with the Saturday when the DJ priest&apos;s show was scheduled, so without a doubt, that was the plan we made together. Although neither of us is particularly fond of electronic music, we both enjoy partying, so we didn&apos;t hesitate to go. To make my stay in the city more comfortable, I booked a bed at the same hostel where she was staying, and from there, we used it as our base to go to the party, which had Plaza de Mayo as its epicenter. Although we arrived a little before the event started, there were so many people that we stayed about three blocks away from the square because it was no longer possible to move any closer. Nevertheless, everything was well organized, with screens and speakers so that the musical set could be heard clearly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Casualmente su visita coincidió con el sábado en el que estaba programado el show del Cura DJ, así que sin dudas ese fue el plan que hicimos juntas. A pesar de que a ninguna de las dos nos encanta tanto, tanto, la música electrónica, a las dos nos gusta estar de fiesta así que ni dudamos en ir. Para poder quedarme en la Ciudad de forma más cómoda, reservé una cama en el mismo hostel en que ella estaba hospedada y de ahí hicimos base para ir a la fiesta que tenía como epicentro a la Plaza de Mayo. Si bien fuimos un rato antes de que empezara el evento, había tanta gente que nos quedamos a unas 3 cuadras de distancia de la plaza porque ya no se podía avanzar más. Sin embargo, todo estaba bien organizado y habían pantallas y parlantes para que se escuchara bien el set musical.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

Until now, I had only enjoyed its advantages: being able to reach a place that is difficult to access by public transport, sharing expenses, and taking advantage of having someone drive me because I don&apos;t know how to drive. But on my last outing with the trekking group, I discovered the downside, which is having to depend on the car owner, who decides when they want to leave. This is what happened when we went to &lt;strong&gt;Saavedra, Buenos Aires&lt;/strong&gt;, when the driver who took me decided to end the trip a day early and forced me to change my own plans for the outing 🙃.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Hacer un viaje compartido en un vehículo ajeno tiene sus cosas buenas y sus cosas malas. Hasta el momento, solo había disfrutado de las ventajas que tenía: poder llegar a un lugar poco accesible en transporte público, gastos repartidos y aprovechar el hecho de que alguien me lleve por no saber manejar. Pero en mi último paseo con el grupo de trekking descubrí la parte mala, que es estar a disposición del dueño del auto, que es quien decide en qué momento se quiere ir. Esto fue lo que pasó cuando fuimos a &lt;strong&gt;Saavedra, Buenos Aires&lt;/strong&gt;, cuando la conductora que me llevó decidió terminar el paseo un día antes y me obligó a cambiar mis propios planes de paseo 🙃.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23wC37hAjQBgoFZ4pLRvj5PPHvLbyGArXaRJQ8ZvuAxJSuTLGUU5uGCbRnyjq3Wmnv1BN.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Daily Blog  (63).png&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our original idea was to spend the entire Easter long weekend in the mountainous area of Saavedra, in the interior of Buenos Aires Province. We set off on Thursday, covering almost 600 km to get there. We arrived a bit late, so we went on a short night trek, and the following day, Friday, we did our longest trek along the entire Cura Malal mountain range. Everything was going well until Saturday morning, when I got the surprise of hearing over breakfast that my driver wasn&apos;t enjoying the trip and wanted to go back home. There were still two more days ahead of us, so I wasn&apos;t prepared for that. I checked the bus options for returning on Sunday night, but the schedules didn&apos;t work out either, which made me even more frustrated: I really didn&apos;t want to end my trip that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Nuestra idea original era ir a pasar todo el fin de semana largo de pascuas en la zona montañosa de Saavedra, en el interior de Buenos Aires. Partimos el día jueves, recorriendo casi 600 km hasta llegar allá. Llegamos algo tarde, así que hicimos un pequeño trekking nocturno, y al día siguiente, viernes, hicimos nuestro trekking más largo por todo el cordón Cura Malal. Todo iba bien hasta el momento, pero el sábado a la mañana desayuné la sorpresa de que a mi conductora no le estaba gustando el paseo y quería volverse a su casa. Todavía quedaban dos días más por delante, por lo que yo no estaba preparada para eso. Averigüé para volver en micro el domingo a la noche, pero los horarios tampoco coincidían, lo que hizo que me frustrara más: yo realmente no quería terminar mi paseo ese día.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, there was no room in any of the other cars in the group, so I was thinking of giving up and having to go back home. But it was at that moment that I remembered Silvia and her husband, some friends I had met in Ushuaia who lived in Olavarría, about 270 km from where we were, along the same route back to the City of Buenos Aires. I immediately contacted Silvia and explained the situation, asking her if she could host me at her house for the rest of the long weekend. She said yes without any problem, and I ended up going to visit her on an improvised trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Desafortunadamente, en ningún otro auto del grupo había lugar, así que estaba pensando en resignarme y tener que volver a casa. Pero fue en ese momento en que me acordé de Silvia y su esposo, unos amigos que había conocido en Ushuaia y que vivían en Olavarría, a unos 270 km de donde estábamos, en el mismo camino que regreso a Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Inmediatamente me comuniqué con Silvia y le expliqué la situación, preguntándole si me podía alojar en su casa hasta el fin del fin de semana largo. Sin problemas me dijo que sí, y terminé yendo improvisadamente a visitarla.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This area of &lt;strong&gt;Saavedra, in the interior of Buenos Aires Province&lt;/strong&gt;, is characterized by its rolling hills interspersed with extensive valleys, making its landscapes unmistakable. Although the weather had threatened us with rain and thick clouds, things looked different during the second half of our outing. So much so that by the time we reached the two peaks we still had to see, the sun was shining in all its glory 😃.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Nuestra aventura caminando por las alturas del Cordón Cura Malal había empezado muy temprano pero nos había regalado un montón de paisajes hermosos. Esta zona de &lt;strong&gt;Saavedra, en el interior de Buenos Aires&lt;/strong&gt;, se caracteriza por tener algunas elevaciones alternadas con extensos valles, que vuelven a los lugares inconfundibles. A pesar de que el clima había amenazado con lluvia y nubes densas, para la segunda mitad de nuestro paseo, el panorama era otro. Tanto así que cuando llegamos a los dos picos que nos faltaban ver, el sol brillaba en todo su esplendor 😃.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23xKmcAJpxHZrWkqJ8fQmSLtXdABwjFyDKGZawRqDD1KRa89zHX888Xc8qRGCUdcU87e5.png&quot; alt=&quot;Worldmappin - 2026-10-16T111224.860.png&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the first half of our hike, we had the opportunity to visit the Huellas de Amistad Refuge and the Confluencia, Pura Vida, and Ballena peaks. The Cura Malal mountain range is like a small mountain chain, so if you hike there, you&apos;ll come across a series of ascents and descents that lead you to different peaks. The terrain is made up of rocks and grass, so although it isn&apos;t particularly difficult, you need to pay some attention to where you step. At times, we even had to use our hands to help ourselves keep moving forward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt; En la primera mitad de nuestro recorrido, habíamos tenido la oportunidad de visitar el Refugio Huellas de Amistad, y los picos Confluencia, Pura Vida y Ballena. El cordón de Cura Malal es como una pequeña sierra, por lo que si caminas por ahí, te encontrarás con una serie de subidas y bajadas que te llevan a diferentes picos. Este terreno es de piedras y pastos, por lo que, a pesar de no tener una dificultad alta, requiere prestar un poco de atención para pisar bien. Incluso por momentos, tuvimos que ayudarnos con las manos para poder seguir avanzando. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The next peak we saw was called Locomotora. Each of the small summits we visited was marked with a stone tower and a metal sign, which made them very photogenic. By then, the bad weather had already passed, and the sun was shining right above us. We took advantage of this short stop to sit down for a while, hydrate, and have something to eat. The good thing was that there were approximately 2 kilometers between each peak, making it a relaxed hike compared to others I&apos;ve done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt; El siguiente pico que vimos fue el llamado Locomotora. Cada una de las pequeñas cimas que vimos estaba identificada con una torre de piedras y un cartel metálico, lo que los volvía muy fotogénicos. Para entonces, el mal clima ya se había ido y teníamos el sol encima. Aprovechamos esta pequeña parada para sentarnos un poco a hidratarnos y comer algo. Lo bueno era que entre pico y pico habían unos 2 kilómetros aproximadamente: fue un paseo tranquilo en comparación a otros que he hecho.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

One always associates Buenos Aires with the big city, but the truth is that if you travel a little into the interior, you can come across these wonderful places. During our Easter long weekend getaway, the trekking group and I traveled to Saavedra to explore the Cura Malal mountain range, which rewarded us with beautiful views at every step. Our day had started very cloudy in the morning, &lt;strong&gt;but by noon the weather gave us a break so we could keep walking 😃.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Incluso habiendo estado ahí, miro las fotos y me cuesta creer que esos paisajes montañosos hermosos pertenecen a la provincia de Buenos Aires. Uno siempre asocia Buenos Aires con la gran ciudad, pero la verdad es que si viajas un poco hacia el interior, podes encontrarte con estos lugares maravillosos. En nuestra escapada de fin de semana largo de pascuas, el grupo de trekking y yo viajamos hasta Saavedra para explorar el cordón Cura Malal, que nos regaló unas vistas hermosas en cada paso. Nuestro día había empezado muy nublado en la mañana, &lt;strong&gt;pero al mediodía dio tregua para que pudiéramos seguir caminando 😃.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our hike started around 8 AM after breakfast, and our first stop was the Huellas de Amistad Refuge. From there, we enjoyed the view of the valley for a while, and when we were ready, we continued up the mountain. This trail was not difficult at all, although we came across several rocks that made the route a little more interesting. At times, we even had to climb using our hands for support: nothing as complicated as rock climbing, but entertaining enough to make it fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Nuestra caminata arrancó alrededor de las 8 AM después del desayuno y nuestra primera parada fue el Refugio Huellas de Amistad. Desde ahí, disfrutamos un poco de la vista del valle y cuando estuvimos listos, continuamos montaña arriba. Este camino no era para nada difícil, aunque nos encontramos con varias piedras que volvieron al recorrido un poco más interesante. Incluso por momentos tuvimos que trepar con ayuda de las manos: nada tan complicado como una escalada, pero lo suficiente entretenido como para hacerlo divertido.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the refuge, our first peak within the mountain range was Cumbre Vigilante. This summit was marked with a stone tower, and of course, we didn&apos;t hesitate to leave our own. I was very happy that the weather improved because we were enjoying wonderful views from up there. It was even a little hot despite it being April, which lifted our spirits even more. From that point, looking ahead, we could see a little more of the route that lay before us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Después del refugio, nuestra primer pico dentro del cordón montañoso fue la Cumbre Vigilante. Esta cumbre estaba marcada con una torre de piedras y nosotros por supuesto no dudamos en dejar la nuestra propia. Me puso muy feliz que el clima mejorara, porque estábamos teniendo unas vistas maravillosas desde ahí arriba. Incluso hacia un poco de calor a pesar de ser abril, lo que mejoró aún más nuestro ánimo. Desde ese punto y mirando hacia adelante, podíamos ver un poco más del recorrido que teníamos por delante.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

After a journey that had lasted almost twelve hours from the city of Buenos Aires to the town of Saavedra, in the interior of the province, we were ready to start our longest adventure. Although we had arrived at night the day before and had walked around a little, we were all excited to see what the place would look like during the day. It seemed that the good weather wouldn&apos;t be on our side that day, but at least the conditions were suitable for a good hike, starting with the trail to &lt;strong&gt;Huellas de Amistad Refuge 😃&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Era nuestro segundo día de paseo de fin de semana largo y ya estábamos con toda la energía lista para hacer el trekking que nos habíamos propuesto. Despues de un traslado que duró casi doce horas desde la ciudad de Buenos Aires hasta el pueblo de Saavedra en el interior de la provincia, estábamos listos para empezar la aventura más larga. A pesar de que el día anterior habíamos llegado de noche y caminamos un poco, todos estábamos emocionados por ver cómo se vería ese lugar de día. Parecía que el buen clima no nos acompañaría ese día, pero al menos se prestó como para hacer una buena caminata, empezando por tramo hasta el &lt;strong&gt;Refugio Huellas de Amistad 😃&lt;/strong&gt;.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main idea of this trek was to cover as much of the Cura Malal Range as possible. In the interior of Buenos Aires Province, there is a series of small elevations formed by the Tandilia and Ventania mountain systems, which is what gives our province some &quot;mountains.&quot; With the trekking group I had met a few months earlier, we decided to visit this range, very close to the town of Saavedra, about 500 km from home. To do that, we had stayed in a refuge the night before (in my case, I preferred to camp), and the next morning we started the hike around 8 AM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;La idea principal de este trekking era recorrer la mayor parte posible del Cordón Cura Malal. En el interior de Buenos Aires hay una serie de pequeñas elevaciones formados por los sistemas de Tandilia y Ventania, que es lo que hace que nuestra provincia tenga algunas &quot;montañas&quot;. Con el grupo de trekking que había conocido algunos meses atrás, decidimos ir a visitar este cordón, muy cercano a la localidad de Saavedra, a unos 500 km de casa. Para eso, la noche anterior nos habíamos hospedado en un refugio (en mi caso, yo preferí acampar), y a la mañana siguiente empezamos la caminata alrededor de las 8 AM.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since we were exploring a mountain range, the first part was all uphill, on terrain full of rocks and dirt. During our trek, we would first reach Huellas de Amistad Refuge, an interesting place from where we would have a good view of the valley (or of whatever the clouds would allow us to see). On that long-weekend getaway, the trekking group consisted of more than 15 people, and everyone went at their own pace, so it took us more than an hour to reach the refuge, even though it wasn&apos;t that far from where we had started. Although I know I could have made it in half an hour or less, going in a group is fun and allows you to walk a little more relaxed.&lt;/p&gt;

I always have a plan in mind, a trip on the horizon, or at least an outing to look forward to in my day-to-day life. Now that I work Monday through Friday, my free time is a little more limited, but luckily, I found a group of travelers who organize weekend trips. During the long weekend in April, we organized a trip to the mountainous area of Buenos Aires, specifically to the town of Saavedra. &lt;strong&gt;I had never been there before, so it was the perfect opportunity to disconnect for a while 😃.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Si hay algo que no puedo hacer durante mucho tiempo es quedarme quieta. Siempre tengo un plan en mente, un viaje en el horizonte o aunque sea un paseo que me motive en el día a día. Ahora que trabajo de lunes a viernes, mi tiempo libre está un poco más limitado, pero por suerte, encontré un grupo de viajeros que organizan paseos de fines de semana. Durante el fin de semana largo de Abril, organizamos una salida hacia la zona montañosa en Buenos Aires, precisamente en el pueblo de Saavedra. &lt;strong&gt;Yo no lo conocía, así que fue la oportunidad perfecta para desconectar un poco 😀.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you think of Buenos Aires, you probably picture the Obelisk and everything around the city, but the reality is that the province is huge and has so much more to offer. It even has some interesting mountain ranges where you can get some exercise and enjoy nature. To find these landscapes, you have to travel about 500 kilometers south, towards the Tandilia and Ventania mountain systems. That&apos;s exactly where we headed with the trekking group, to the Sierra de la Ventana area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Cuando uno piensa en Buenos Aires, siempre se imagina el obelisco y todo lo circundante a la Ciudad, pero la realidad es que la provincia es enorme y tiene mucho más para ver. Incluso tiene algunas elevaciones montañosas interesante como para ir a hacer un poco de ejercicio y disfrutar de la naturaleza. Para eso hay que moverse unos 500 kilómetros al sur en dirección a los sistemas de Tandilia y Ventania, en donde encontrarán este tipo de paisajes. Precisamente, a la zona de Sierra de la Ventana es donde fuimos con el grupo de trekking.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The long Easter weekend consisted of Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off, so we started our trip early on Saturday. The trekking group had organized a visit to a place called Estancia Cerro Áspero, and according to the map, it would take us about eight hours to get there. In reality, my small group and I took our time, stopping for lunch, stretching our legs, and having some coffee, so we eventually arrived at the estancia after dark. It took us almost 11 hours to get there, and since we were the last ones to arrive, they were waiting for us to start a nighttime adventure. When we arrived, the estancia was basically a large open field with a mountain-style shelter, but since there were spiders and all kinds of insects around, I decided to pitch a tent and sleep outside 😂.&lt;/p&gt;

Eight nights in the neighboring country turned into the perfect opportunity to wander around from one place to another and try (unsuccessfully) to get some rest after long months of working full-time. We had some incredible days and enjoyed every last moment of them. &lt;strong&gt;If there was one thing we never ran out of, it was food, which we didn&apos;t want to stop trying, not even on our last night there.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;El tiempo realmente vuela cuando uno se divierte y así fue cuando fui de vacaciones con mi papá a la ciudad de &lt;strong&gt;Foz de Iguazú en Brasil&lt;/strong&gt;. Ocho noches de estadía en el país vecino se convirtieron en la oportunidad perfecta para pasear de acá para allá, e intentar (fallidamente) descansar después de largos meses de trabajo full time. Tuvimos unos días increíbles, en los que disfrutamos hasta el último momento. &lt;strong&gt;Si hay algo que no faltó fue la comida, que no quisimos dejar de probar ni siquiera en nuestra última noche por ahí ❤️.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23vi8AUqVfo4HtN75dUWBLDqp9vcHgrBowk4xC68S7cHcSRRPeXAupiscJfBJ6tBbQ2NQ.png&quot; alt=&quot;Daily Blog  (62).png&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the beginning of this trip, I was a little worried and wanted to make sure everything would be comfortable. It was quite a challenge for me to find accommodation in a city I had never visited before, because I wasn&apos;t sure what would be a good location. In the end, after doing quite a bit of research online, I found a nice hotel in the old center of Foz do Iguaçu, very close to the bus terminal. It was also located on a main street, so we had several restaurants nearby that we tried during those days. My dad really liked one of them, and we ended up going there three times, including for dinner on our last night.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Al principio de este viaje estaba algo preocupada queriendo que todo sea cómodo. Fue un gran desafío para mí buscar alojamiento en una ciudad que nunca había visitado antes, porque no tenía claro cuál sería una buena ubicación. Finalmente, después de leer bastante en internet, terminé encontrando un buen hotel en el centro viejo de Foz de Iguazú, muy cerca de la terminal de buses. También estaba sobre una calle principal, por lo que teníamos varios restaurantes que probamos en esos días. A mi papá le gustó mucho uno al que fuimos tres veces, incluida la cena de nuestra última noche.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;table&gt;

&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At that restaurant, we tried burritos, tacos, burgers, and meat with different side dishes. On our last night, while we were eating, a guy showed up who said he was a culinary student, selling the typical Brazilian brigadeiros. I had heard of them before, but I had never tried them. For about $5, he sold us four of these “chocolates,” which were kind of like truffles with different flavors. They were really delicious, and they made the perfect dessert to make sure we didn&apos;t leave Brazil without trying them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;En ese restaurante probamos burritos, tacos, hamburguesas y carne con distintas guarniciones. En nuestra última noche, mientras estábamos comiendo, apareció un chico quien dijo ser un estudiante a chef, vendiendo los típicos brigadeiros brasileños. Yo había escuchado de estos, pero hasta el momento no los había probado. Por unos $5, nos vendió cuatro de estos &quot;bombones&quot;, unas especie de trufas de distintos sabores. La verdad eran muy deliciosos, y fue un postre perfecto para que no nos fuéramos de Brasil sin probarlos.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

It was a very intense week in which we managed to do all kinds of things, and although we didn’t get much rest, it was worth spending every minute exploring somewhere new. I’d say we ate a lot, walked a lot, and enjoyed ourselves a lot too. Since we were in the area of the &lt;strong&gt;triple border between Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay&lt;/strong&gt;, of course we had to take a little trip to see something of all three countries, and that’s exactly what we did 😃.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Las vacaciones con mi papá tuvieron de todo: salidas al aire libre, un poco de bicicleta, naturaleza, caminata en la ciudad y hasta salidas nocturnas. Fue una semana muy intensa en la que logramos hacer de todo, y aunque no descansamos mucho, valió la pena invertir cada minuto en un lugar nuevo. Diría que comimos un montón, paseamos un montón y también disfrutamos un montón. Estando en la zona de la &lt;strong&gt;triple frontera entre Argentina, Brasil y Paraguay&lt;/strong&gt;, por supuesto que teníamos que hacernos una escapada para ver algo de los tres países, y eso fue lo que hicimos 😃.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23vhqZUdwMM48d6TVEAM5e5s46mLXiPga27L9jpJuC8RkrBsBDRhPHrANXYtPEf3WcG4G.png&quot; alt=&quot;Daily Blog  (61).png&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One thing I definitely didn’t expect to do during our stay in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, was go out at night. Having dinner with my dad was great, but he’s someone who tends to go to bed fairly early. I, on the other hand, because of my current job, where I finish my shift around midnight, have a somewhat unusual sleep schedule and can still stay up a little longer. Even though this was a family vacation, I didn’t miss the opportunity to use my always-reliable travel app, Couchsurfing, where I found a great group of people to go dancing with after dinner. As you know, I enjoy cultural exchanges, and luckily, I got to experience them on this trip as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Algo que sin dudas no me esperaba hacer durante nuestra estadía en Foz de Iguazú, Brasil, era salir de noche. Cenar con mi papá estaba muy bien, pero él es una persona que duerme algo temprano. En cambio yo, por mi trabajo actual en el que termino mi jornada a la medianoche, tengo el sueño algo cambiado y todavía puedo seguir un poco más. A pesar de que estas vacaciones fueron familiares, no perdí la oportunidad de usar mi siempre confiable app de viajeros Couchsurfing, en donde encontré un buen grupo de gente para ir a bailar un poco después de cenar. Como saben, los intercambios culturales me gustan, y por suerte pude tenerlos en este viaje también.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite having gone out partying the night before, I got up very early the next day because my dad and I wanted to visit Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. This is the city next to Foz do Iguaçu and Puerto Iguazú, so getting there took us less than an hour, including the border crossing. We weren’t asked for any kind of documentation to enter the city, which seemed strange to me at first, but I later understood that this is a city known for spontaneous shopping trips, and many people cross the border just for that. Ciudad del Este is famous for its shopping malls with affordable prices, especially when it comes to electronics, so it can be a good option to save some money if you have something specific in mind.&lt;/p&gt;

But even after visiting the Falls’ parks three times, my dad and I still had some time left to keep exploring before heading home. It was our last full day of vacation, and we wanted to make the most of it without having to move around too much. While browsing the map of Foz, we found the perfect place to go and explore 😃.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Después de haber visitado las &lt;strong&gt;Cataratas del Iguazú&lt;/strong&gt; de ambos lados, podría decirse que ya habíamos hecho lo que &quot;fuimos a hacer&quot;. Cuando uno viaja por esta región del mapa, sin dudas, los grandes saltos de agua son los que acaparan toda la atención. Pero aún después de haber ido tres veces a los parque de las Cataratas, mi papá y yo todavía teníamos algo más de tiempo para seguir paseando antes de volver a casa. Era nuestro último día entero de vacaciones y queríamos aprovecharlo sin tener que movernos tanto, y navegando por el mapa de Foz, encontramos un lugar perfecto para ir a conocer 😃.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23xVRJrCWxfAJ7F3L9gkZcZkGGmdPJvUHRudUebv3L3DM6SkjuhHPs3Kt29FeqHHRDs5M.png&quot; alt=&quot;Worldmappin - 2026-10-01T094601.626.png&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The city of Foz do Iguaçu is small, but you can still find a few tourist attractions to visit beyond the Falls. One of them is this curious Buddhist temple called Chen Tien, less than 15 minutes by car from the city center. We had read that we could get there by public transportation, but having Uber available made it easier for us to get there without getting lost. Even though it was Sunday, the temple was open, and admission was free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;La ciudad de Foz de Iguazú es pequeña, pero aún se pueden encontrar algunas cosas turísticas para hacer, más allá de ir a las Cataratas. Una de ellas es este curioso templo budista llamado Chen Tien, a menos de 15 minutos en auto desde el centro de la ciudad. Habíamos leído que podíamos llegar hasta allí en transporte público, pero la existencia de Uber nos dio la facilidad de que nos lleven sin perdernos. A pesar de que era domingo, el templo estaba abierto y la entrada era libre y gratuita.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, there were a few rules to follow when entering, such as wearing appropriate clothing, keeping quiet, and respecting some areas reserved exclusively for prayer. There weren’t many visitors at the time of our visit, as the sky and the forecast were threatening a heavy storm. Still, my dad and I decided to go, and we would explore the temple until the rain told us it was time to stop (which, luckily, was more than an hour after we had finished exploring the temple). It was a peaceful way to spend our last day of vacation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Por supuesto que había que seguir unas cuantas reglas para entrar, como vestimenta adecuada, guardar silencio y respetar algunos espacios exclusivos para orar. No había muchos visitantes al momento de nuestro paseo, porque el cielo y el pronóstico amenazaban con una fuerte tormenta. Igualmente, mi papá y yo decidimos ir y pasearíamos hasta que la lluvia dijera basta (que por suerte fue más de una hora después de haber recorrido el templo). Fue un plan tranquilo de fin de vacaciones.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
