Iguazu part 2, Argentina

Not in a hurry to jump into the 18-hr bus back to Buenos Aires, I assembled a quick travel plan for my 2nd day in puerto iguazu: the hito tres fronterras mirodor, the bird shelter guira oga, and the Wanda mines.

My morning walk from the town center to the hito tres fronterras mirodor was pleasant. Local people use the same route for exercise. Here the rivers intersect to form the natural borders of Argentina, brazil, and Paraguay.

the guira oga is a rehabilitation center for endangered species, abandoned house pets, trafficked animals, injured animals, etc. So they can return to the nature later. Unfortunately, some of them may be too injured to return back to the nature thus become permanent residents of the center. The center breeds rats, chickens, worms to be food of the animals. This place reminds me of the wildlife center in Alaska which performs the same functions yet with much larger animals.

As to the Wanda mines, I waited over 40 minutes for the bus, then decided to give up because it was so hot to wait without any shad.
