On Monday, we packed our bags, ate our fill of buffet breakfast, and headed to the bus station… off to catch a bus to Búzios (pronounced “Buthio”), a peninsula to the East of Rio with 23 beaches and a tropical climate.
We’d booked an Airbnb there for our last 4 nights in Brazil after a random conversation with a random lady at the hotel we stayed at in Iguazu Falls. On our second day, when we were just chilling and swimming in the pool before our flight back to Buenos Aires, a lady came up to us and asked us where we were from. Turns out she was from Yorkshire originally, but lives in Barcelona now. She and her family were visiting Argentina following the celebration of her son’s wedding to his new Brazilian wife. We met the new wife too, and she told us all about a great place called Búzios – where they had just got married! She said it was an easy bus ride from Rio, with a chilled seaside vibe and much safer than Rio city. And from that conversation a new plan was born!
We arrived mid-afternoon and walked from the bus station to the house to meet our host and be shown around. Mauro was brilliant, and really helpful. The kids wasted no time getting into the pool, and we were delighted to have a washing machine after 2 weeks of travel! Clean knickers at last!
We decided to leave the beaches and exploring to the next day and just enjoyed swimming, chilling out and watching TV together for the first time since we left the UK.

The next three days are a blur of beautiful sandy beaches, gorgeous views, swimming, reading books, walking and eating. Perfection.
Surely there is only one thing that would make this even better??? A bright orange beach buggy of course!
Costing us only £40 for 24 hours – this bad boy took us all over the peninsula and around the beaches and shops. It was so much fun!

In the late afternoon, we headed to one of the areas famous for its beautiful sunsets… and we weren’t disappointed. We followed that with a lovely meal out, and then it was time to head back and pack our bags for the last time.
What a beautiful place to spend our last few days.
We arrived on Friday morning, flying in from Buenos Aires. It was a long old morning because we’d had to wake up at 3am to catch our flight at 6! Buenos Aires airport was absolutely heaving that morning and we were stuck in all the queues. Queues to check in, queues for security, queues for passport control… I’m not sure we’ve ever been in an airport that busy (seriously!).
Thankfully, we made it onto the plane (extra queuing here as there was no space for people’s bags in the overhead lockers and people were refusing to move!), and it eventually took off about 30 minutes late.
We arrived in Rio at about 9:30, got cash from an ATM in the airport, met our taxi driver and were at our hotel within the hour. Our hotel wanted to charge us for early check in, so we said no thanks and just made use of their massive couches and free cookies and drinks in the lobby for a few hours!
Once we were all checked in, the kids first plan of action was a swim in the rooftop pool. After that, we all headed out to the beach for some fresh sea air and sand between our toes. We had pistachio ice creams (Kate and the kids) and beer (Martin) at the beach and then walked back to the hotel for an early dinner and bed!
On Saturday we planned to do the touristy things, following a massive and delicious breakfast buffet. We booked a tour to include the main things we wanted to see here, as we’re planning to head further East on Monday rather than stay in Rio for the week.
The Grants are here too and we booked the same tour – but when we were picked up by Jonas, our guide, we realised they were in a different minibus! We’d have to spy them at the sights instead.
First stop… Christ the Redeemer. Located at the top of Corcovado Mountain, within the Tijuca National Park, this huge statue has become a prominent symbol of Rio and Brazil itself. It was finished in 1931, and stands at 38 meters tall.
The statue was dedicated as an Archdiocesen Sanctuary in 2006Ready to go! Heading up the escalator at the topBoom! These macaques are everywhere, ready to steal your food/drinkA bit misty
I think this is the busiest tourist place we have ever been to!! It was completely rammed with people, all trying to take pictures and enjoy the views – although the views weren’t as spectacular as we’d been hoping for sadly as it was such an overcast day.
Ugh, other people!
We did find the Grants up there and with a little sneaky shoe manoeuvring from Kate and a timer on the phone we managed to capture some great shots!
Sylvie and Ffion wore their matching t-shirts that they bought back in Cardiff in May…
It was very impressive, but I think we were all ready to leave when we did – there were just too many people to be able to relax and enjoy it properly.
Our next stop, via the beautiful streets of Santa Teresa, was a cathedral – the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian. This cathedral was designed in a modern style based on the Mayan architectural style of pyramids. It has a capacity of 20,000 people so it’s pretty huge.
We also travelled past the Carioca Aqueduct, also known as the Arcos de Lapa. It was built in the 1700s, and served as an aqueduct until the end of the 19th century. It is now a viaduct for the famous Santa Teresa Tramway.

Next up was the Escadaria Selarón, locally known as the Lapa Steps, a set of world-famous colourful steps designed by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón. He began renovating and recreating these steps in 1990, using old bits of tile scavenged from construction sites in Rio, but in later years lots of the tiles were donated by visitors from all over the world.
Again, it was crazily busy here, but really fascinating. We loved walking up and trying to spot tiles our favourite tiles, interesting tiles and tiles from different countries all over the world.
We also enjoyed some musical interludes along the way…
Our last stop of the day was the cable cars up to Sugarloaf Mountain – where we would watch the sunset. We already knew the views wouldn’t be as clear, as the sun hadn’t managed to peak through the clouds all day, but there was no point worrying about that.
To reach the top of the Sugarloaf, you take two cable cars – the first ascends to the shorter Morro da Urca, and the second to Pão de Acúcar itself. The original cable cars were built in 1912, then rebuilt in the 70s. The ones used today were built in 2008 and are bubble shaped and completely glass so you get 360 degree views (or you would if you weren’t squished in with 64 other people!).
First views – Christ is hidden in the clouds! Making a wish and walking through the wishing treeUp to Morro de Urca At the top of the Sugarloaf
At the top, we enjoyed the views while snacking on slices of pizza and chicken balls (we didn’t know what else to call them – they were conical shaped balls of mashed potato with curried chicken inside and deep fried).
Halfway down – Sugarload behind usClouds parted and you can spot Christ the Redeemer nowWe watched this helicopter for a bit
It was a great day of sightseeing, and well worth it even though it was cloudy and overcast.
Sunday we planned to just spend on the beaches enjoying the sun, sea and sand – so after another hearty breakfast (plus nabbing some sneaky made up rolls and fruit for our lunch!) we got ready and took an Uber to Ipanema beach.
We absolutely loved it – the sun was shining, the ocean wasn’t cold and the waves were brilliant. Add to that some excellent company and some great food options from people selling directly to us on the beach and you’ve got the recipe for a great day.
One happy beach bumTwo Englishmen fully clothed and in the shade! Sylvie buying some fresh cornDelicious!We also got shrimp from this guy
After Ipanema beach, we wandered along the seafront to the famous Copacabana beach, buying some souvenirs and snacks along the way.
Açai tubs for the win!
We ended the day with a meal out together, before the Grants headed back to their Airbnb and we headed back to our hotel – just leaving enough time to shower off the sand, pack our bags and head to bed ready for our new destination tomorrow. Thanks Rio, we’ve had a blast.
Having arrived back to Buenos Aires last night, and had several busy days and really early mornings, we decided to have a chilled morning.
The hotel we’re in provides breakfast in a room-service-buffet type way… we weren’t quite sure what to expect but it turns out this means a lovely waitress arriving with a trolley full of food! We could choose what we wanted and she laid it out on the table in our apartment-style room as we sat there… it was 10:30am and we were still in our pjs, but she’s seen worse right?
Once we were full up and showered, we left the hotel to explore a bit more of the city. Our first stop was San Telmo market – a large indoor market selling both food and crafts. It’s particularly famous for its Sunday markets, but it’s open everyday.
The market first opened in 1897, and the original structure still stands today. It’s beautiful inside – a mix of history and modernity – and we really enjoyed wandering around and taking in the sights and smells.
Despite our very late breakfast, we couldn’t resist buying a few empanadas to keep the energy up. They were absolutely delicious, and came in a solid second after the ones we had at the Estancio a few days ago.
Nearly! The kids spent far too long sampling the various flavoured caramel sauces!
Following the market, we’d hoped to visit the famous Recoleta Cemetery – the burial site of Eva Perón (Evita), amongst others. It is apparently full of beautiful mausoleums, decorated with statues. Sadly, we realised we wouldn’t have enough time to see it properly before closing time, plus the entrance fee was quite high (especially if you haven’t got enough time to wander and enjoy it) so we had to give it a miss.
Instead, we headed to an area called La Boca – one of the most iconic neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires. It is known for the football team Boca Juniors, the history of tango, and El Caminito (“Little Path”). It was the latter we were hoping to enjoy and it did not disappoint.
We loved it; such a vibrant, colourful and beautiful neighbourhood! We wandered around just enjoying the markets and the vibes.
This lady was drawing the attention of all the tourists (we have no idea why!)These are made from paperKate wanted to buy many of these signs! Trying to make it out of the indoor market before we were locked out!
Once we’d finished spending our last stash of Argentinian pesos, we walked further along the streets in search of a nice restaurant to have our last meal here. We settled on somewhere right next to the Boca stadium!
Pretty at sunsetSomeone forgot her coat so we had to make an emergency hoodie purchase because it was quite chilly! Sylvie’s 1 litre of homemade lemonade! Definitely not dressed up enough for the fancy restaurant but they still served us! Martin enjoyed his final Argentinian steak
And all of a sudden it was back to the hotel, packing our bags and preparing for our very early wake up call. Tomorrow we head to Brazil!!
Our remaining day here in Iguazu, we decided to spend checking out the other less well-known local sights, as well as spend some time chilling by the pool in the sunshine before our flight back to Buenos Aires.
Our first stop was a 15 minute walk away from our hotel – La Aripuca. This is an ecological park named after the small traps built with branches by the Guarani people. These traps allow the catching of animals without harm, and enable the locals to release them if they are too young or not suitable for consumption.
The site itself is small, but made completely with trunks, trees and bamboo that is found in the rainforests in this area. These trees are all protected or endangered species, and none of the trunks here are cut down – they are repurposed to help spread the message of conservation.
A very impressive entrance! Inside a 500 year old trunkThis type of tree resembles a bamboo in the way it grows – there is an insect that feeds on the inside section, leaving the healthy tree on the outside unaffected Aripuca exampleGiant “aripuca” created to spread a message
We had a lovely morning here – enjoying the sunshine, eating ice cream made with local flowers and leaves, being impressed by the size of the trunks and watching a woman perform some traditional drumming and dance. Elijah bought a handmade blow dart set from one of the local traders here, and has already vowed to use it on intruders into his bedroom!
You can see the names of the types of trees on each branch
Our next stop was to visit the Triple Frontier: this is a tri-border area along the junction of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Each of these three countries has an obelisk, painted in the national colours of that country and from each obelisk you can see across the river to the others.
Sylvie’s video below explains it and zooms in on the obelisks – there are actually only two rivers converging here, the Iguazu and Parana rivers.
After this, we made a quick stop at a supermarket to stock up on some lunch/snacks and headed to our hotel for some chill time.
If you know us, you know we love the BBC programme “Race Across the World”; it’s partly why we started travelling more with the kids. In the South American series, the contestants visit Iguazu… and we always knew if we came here, we’d have to try and make it to the falls. We’re delighted we made it! The name “Iguazu” comes from the Guarani words “y” meaning water and “uasu” meaning big. The Iguazu falls are the largest waterfall system in the world.
Our day began at 4:20am with loud banging on the door of our chalet at the Estancio. Within 15 minutes we were out the door with our bags and our “breakfast box” they’d provided, in the taxi and on our way for the two hour trip to the airport. Back to sleep in the car it was!
The flight took an hour and a half, so it wasn’t long before we were in a taxi heading to our hotel. We’d had a bit of a kerfuffle with the hotels as Kate had booked a flight-and-hotel deal not realising that the company thought it was a good idea to book a hotel on the Brazilian side of the falls, despite the fact that we were flying in and out from Buenos Aires! Luckily as it’s winter here, there were plenty of hotels on the Argentinian side to choose from – so we booked the same one as the Grants as our stay overlapped with theirs here.
A quick toilet stop and chance to leave our bags, and we were back in the taxi heading to Cataratas Iguazu. Although we are here for 2 days, you have to book entrance to the National Park on specific dates, and we had booked Tuesday – so there was no time to waste!
Landing in the Misiones RainforestCake for breakfast? We made it! Look outReady to explore the falls!
It’s when you arrive at the National Park that you realise how huge it is – there are several trails you can go on, the three main ones being the lower circuit, the upper circuit and the devils throat. We settled on starting with the lower circuit…
There are so many waterfalls here, just walking the circuits is beautiful – but it’s when you come to a viewpoint of the “main” falls you realise how massive they are.
Cheeky coatis are everywhere here, stealing food and drinks
Once we’d completed the lower circuit, we walked back towards the main centre, to take the little train up to the devils throat circuit. You don’t pay for the train, but you do have to get a timed ticket so that they can control numbers.
Catching spray too cool down Little falls like this are everywhere Portable lunch
The devils throat circuit, takes you across multiple raised platform bridges across the top of the river – it was a really beautiful place to just wander and enjoy the views (before the crowds at the “real” viewpoints).
Spotting a few of these guys sunning themselvesLots of catfishDevil’s Throat
Instead of taking the train again, we decided to walk along the track down to the central area, to then find the start of the upper circuit. We stopped briefly for an ice cream to keep the energy up and happened upon the Grants – who decided to come with us along the upper circuit before their taxi arrived to collect them.
These cheeky monkeys are everywhere! Can you see the river giant?
A decent 9 miles of walking later, and we were ready to head to our hotel. The kids went for an evening dip in the freezing cold pool, and then we popped into the town centre for dinner. All in all, a pretty gorgeous day.
The paths around our hotel Hammocks and jungles? Yes please.
Monday morning we set off (after Martin finally managed to collect some Argentinian pesos from the bank!) in our pre-booked van out of the city and into the countryside. We were aiming for Estancia El Ombu – a traditional estancia set on 300 hectares of land in San Antonia de Areco. The original farmhouse dates back to 1880 and the whole place is named after the Ombu tree that still stands in the grounds.
We booked an overnight stay here, to make the most of our time – although annoyingly our midday flight on Tuesday was cancelled and replaced by one at 9am, meaning a 4am wake up call for us (and sadly no early morning horse ride or breakfast!).
However, we weren’t going to waste a minute of our time; once we popped our overnight bags (we left our big rucksacks in Buenos Aires so will see them on Wednesday night) in our beautiful room, we were back in the sunshine enjoying the most delicious empanadas we’ve had yet!
Our home for the nightThe main farmhouseWelcome drinks and snacks in the sunshine These were insanely delicious
We were told lunch would be served at 1:30pm, so we borrowed some bikes and rode off to see what we could see. It was a bumpy old ride – everyone’s tyres could’ve done with a pump and the dirt track road was uneven – but we enjoyed seeing part of the Estancia from the bikes. Later we’d try it on horseback!
Back at the ranch, it was time for lunch – didn’t manage to take any pics of the meat, but there was so much! Men brought it round to our tables in stints, starting with sausages, then chicken, then pork, then steak and more steak and a bit more steak. You could pick the piece you wanted from the mini grill they carried in their hands – we had no idea so much would be served!
Sylvie counted 11 dogs here, all very gentle and friendly – and some especially keen to make our acquaintance during lunch!!
Royally stuffed to the brim, we were then treated to some music, dancing and a demonstration of “Doma India” (traditional Argentinian horse whispering).
Following that impressive display, it was then our turn… off we went on horseback for an hour and a half – getting a real glimpse into the size of the estancia and attempting not to fall off!!
Back at the farmhouse, it was time for drinks and cakes (Did we need them? Nope. Did we eat them? Yup!) and reading/card games. Following a stunning sunset, we headed back into our room to enjoy the warmth from the fire.
Dinner was served at 8pm in the gorgeous main dining room of the farmhouse – it was incredible; a seafood pate on bruschetta, spinach ravioli in a tomato sauce and a dulche de leche fruit compote pudding. We were so full!!
Time for a quick shower and straight to bed, as we’re up with the sparrows tomorrow morning to get back to the airport.
A wonderful day, and what a treat to be able to experience a bit of life here – we loved it.
Sunday dawned bright and early for us, as we scrambled to get ready for our 6:45am Uber to the ferry port. We were through immigration and waiting to board by 7:05 – quickly realising that the advice to get there an hour before the ferry leaves definitely wasn’t necessary at that time of the day. We eventually boarded at 8:05 and the ferry left about 20 minutes later… Colonia del Sacramento here we come!
Adios Buenos Aires! Heading out
We arrived in Colonia del Sacramento about an hour and fifteen minutes later and were immediately struck by the contrast from the big Argentinian capital we’d left behind… this is a charming little town with cobblestone streets and colonial architecture.
We began our day with a mini second breakfast at a cafe, and then continued walking around in the sunshine breathing in the fresh sea air.
There was some serious gaming going on at the cafe!
Although we’d planned to meet the Grants here, they were coming in on a later ferry than us, and we were getting an earlier ferry back – so we needed to make the most of our time. We headed to the famous lighthouse, to see the town from a new perspective.
Thankfully, getting money from an ATM was a far easier process here than in Argentina, so we had cash to pay for our tickets (they only accepted cash).
We were really enjoying the quieter pace and the sunshine here, charming is absolutely the word we’d use to describe this town.
After a stroll through the local markets, we sat by the sea and watched the sailing boats while we waited for the Grants, it was just lovely. Soon they joined us and Alys and Ffion were straight off to find Elijah and Sylvie down by the rock pools.
It was fab catching up and comparing our last two days in the big city. We shared a delicious lunch together – seafood paella, cocktails and pizza for the kids!
We left the Grants to do their own wandering, and headed back to the ferry.
What a chilled, sunny, beautiful day. Just what we needed after the fast-pace and busyness of the city. Thank you Uruguay!
The ferry back to Buenos Aires was simple and easy to do – and this time we got a stamp in our passport!
Our Argentinian adventures began a little differently to normal: having arrived at our hotel and left our luggage, we simply couldn’t muster the energy to explore this large, unknown city in the dark at 6:30am… so instead we opted for getting several hours sleep in a nearby hotel. We checked ourselves in, threw ourselves in the beds, and woke up 5 hours later feeling a lot better.
We stopped by a local cafe for some food and drinks, and then continued our slow wander back to our pre booked hotel, where we are staying for the next three nights.
Sometimes all you need is a bit more sleepHanging around Buenos Aires
Once we’d checked in and unpacked a bit, we decided to make the most of our first night in Buenos Aires by booking tickets to a dinner and dance show – an absolute must here.
We were picked up from our hotel around 8pm and taken to the theatre. The whole event was amazing; delicious food and incredible performances and storytelling.
We were served our food and (unlimited) drinks first, and then the show started around 10:15pm. We had the best time! Here are a few snippets:
Buenos Aires definitely comes alive at night! Our show didn’t finish until 12:30am and then we still needed to get back to our hotel, but the city was buzzing! We were completely pooped though, so that was it for the nightlife here for us!
On Saturday, none of us woke up before 11am! It was the sleep we obviously needed. Once we were up and ready, we headed out to see the sights of the city – starting with an ATM to get cash. We hadn’t been able to get cash the day before despite trying 3 different machines, none of them had any cash to withdraw. Martin had done some research and had to “send himself” some money, which was then confirmed via email – he would then need to go in to the bank, show email and proof of ID and hopefully receive the cash! We’ve never had to do that before. Annoyingly we still didn’t manage it as the Western Union bank closed at 2pm and we didn’t realise, oops! An early Monday morning trip it would be then!
Our first stop after the unsuccessful bank attempt, was a cafe/pub for some food – we definitely found a local as it was full of old men on their own or in groups, watching the football.
We then tried to make our way to “Casa Rosada” – the Argentinian presidential office, located in the centre of Plaza de Mayo. It’s also known as the pink house, for obvious reasons. It is also famous because it is where Eva (‘Evita’) Peron addressed the masses back in the 40s and 50s (a fact Kate was very excited about!).
We didn’t quite make it though, as we unexpectedly came across part of a rally of 10,000 Argentinians in support of Palestinians, protesting the genocide in Gaza. Important to witness we thought.
We continued our meandering through the streets until we came to the waterfront area – this reminded us of Bristol Harbourside – a bustling, lively area full of restaurants and bars. We grabbed some ice creams (they were massive!) and carried on walking around enjoying the vibe.
Plaza de MayoCasa Rosada Enjoying the street art
We’ve had a fab two days here already, and looking forward to more adventures. Off to Uruguay tomorrow though!
Our last day in Cusco began with a final pack of the bags, a deliciously fresh breakfast and a stroll around the town. We definitely haven’t seen everything Cusco has to offer, but we have loved every minute we’ve been here.
The girls wanted to head back to the famous San Pedro market again, so that was our first stop.
We then made our way to a local cafe that promised delicious food and drink – the perfect way to end our time here. The food and drinks were indeed amazing (and huge portions!), but it took longer to arrive than we expected. This meant that Dave had to leave early to collect the Grant laundry on time, and the rest of us had a bit of a speedy (not recommended at altitude!!) walk back to our hotel to get back in time for our transfer to the airport. The hills and steps of Cusco are challenging at altitude if you’re doing them quickly!
It wasn’t long before Eber had efficiently Tetrus-ed our backpacks into the van and we were heading to the airport. Time to say goodbye to Perú.
Two flights were on the cards – Cusco to Lima, and then Lima to Buenos Aires – so we needed to settle in to our travel day.
Adios Cusco, Perú!
We cannot believe we have finished our 2 weeks in Peru! We have really enjoyed it all, and would happily spent another 2 weeks here – from deserts to lush jungles to high altitude lakes and historical ruins galore – what a brilliant place to travel.
We’ve honestly fallen in love with this beautiful, fascinating country with its intriguing culture and smiley, friendly people. Thanks for an amazing two weeks Peru!
Ola Buenos Aires!!
Thankfully, despite our flight from Cusco to Lima being delayed, we still had enough time in to check in our bags and grab something to eat before our next flight to Buenos Aires.
The flight from Lima to Buenos Aires only took 4 hours – something all of us adults had completely missed!! Plus we had mixed up what the time difference would be … so we ended up arriving in BA around 4:30am having only had a couple of hours sleep on a flight that lasted 4 hours! Add to that a ridiculously long queue for immigration in an overly heated space and we were 8 very tired, hot and bothered humans!
Once we were through immigration, we said goodbye to the Grant family as we are spending the next week doing separate things in Argentina. (We have plans to meet up for lunch in Uruguay on Sunday though, if it all works out).
Martin booked an Uber, and soon we were zooming through the city heading to our hotel, tired, but excited to see what delights we find in Argentina!
We were grateful to have a slightly later start this morning, which meant breakfast at 8am in our hotel. We then arranged to have our bags delivered to the train station at 3pm, and met Raul in the queue for the bus. These buses take tourists up and down the mountain almost continually from 4am to 11pm everyday. And they are almost always full! (Machu Picchu gets around 1.5 million visitors a year)
On we hopped (after showing our tickets and passports – you need these for everything here!), and up we went. It wasn’t long before we were in the sunshine, enjoying the ruins up close.
We really loved spotting the Sun Gate from Machu Picchu itself, and learning about the Sun Temple within the city. There are many temples here, all dedicated to different gods. But the Sun Temple was fascinating because it was built at exactly the right spot for the summer solstice’s first rays to hit through the Sun Gate up in the mountain, and directly into the temple.
This following photo shows the ‘condor’ temple – you can see the natural rock formation forms the wings, and the rocks on the ground show the condors head, collar and even beak. This area was sacred for the Incas… within the holes in the walls above many shrines and mummies were found – showing that the condor temple represents leaving this world and flying to a higher realm.
Condor Temple
Despite the heat and the strong sunshine, several of us (especially Kate) felt we could’ve spent a much longer time in the ruins, but soon our time was up and we were making our way down to the restaurant for our lunch. This was our last meal with Raul, as he heads off on the full Inca trail on Friday with a new group of travellers.
After lunch, it was a trip back down the mountain on the bus, and then we had some time for wandering around Aguas Calientes and enjoying the markets and the vibes. We also managed to find Paddington in Peru!
Traditional dance “entertainment” on the train The aircon was quite strong!
We then took PeruRail again – out of the valley, and met Eber (our driver from 2/3 days ago), who drove us back to Cusco. We arrived quite late in the evening, and were all pretty tired. The girls stayed in the hotel (the younger three choosing crisps in bed for dinner!) and the boys went out for some food. A quick sort of some clothes for the local laundry here, which we will pick up tomorrow after lunch and then it was bed for all, as we prepared for our last day in Peru and our onward journey to Argentina.
