As we were driving out we were stopping and taking photos of flowers and bird. A farmer passed us and just stayed 100m in front I think we were being escorted out!

There were a number of signs to say  Private property so maybe they do have a problem with poachers?


The ground is very wet. we are not sure if it is always this wet or just that it has rained recently.

More straight road. The edges are very well maintained, lovely green grass, with water on either side in places. Some fisherman fishing off the road verge. The occasional termite hill on the verge as well.

Lunch on steps down to the river in Corrientes which is a large town. We drove over an interesting bridge over the river Parana. We had visited and camped on this river further north in  Brazil, In December last year. It has the worlds largest electricity producing hydro plant. It is also the main river which feeds the estuary between Buenos Aires and Montevideo.


We continued east and turned south down a yellow road into the northern part of the Ibera wetlands. Interesting once again, it being a Reserva Natural Esteros del Iberia and yet it is all farmed with cattle and lots of horses. We saw lots of birds, and an alligator. The area is still heavily farmed.

Our camp, on the side of the road, was beside water with lots of birds and one lone deer.
