Default CARNIVAL! at Gualeguaychu

Carnival in Gualeguaychu is a very fun day trip. Don't plan on getting back until the next morning.

If you're interesting in tour details, contact me and I'll forward them to you. I'll have to contact the 'cruise director' who arranged our trip for us.

Hi, We didn't need a hotel because the bus took us back that night at 2:00. We got home to BsAs about 7:00 the next morning. I'll find out what travel company you can purchase tickets through.

Default Carnival

I just received a warning of a rush of crimes commited during the Carnival there. It is advised to travel in groups, if posible. Also to take as many preventive measures as possible (do not flash jewrlry, etc)

The tour agency is: www.ayresviajes.com.ar you can check the site here http://www.ayresviajes.com.ar/otros.html or call them at 4383 9188 I usually deal with Diego.

No! You don't have to wear a costume, but bring a bathingsuit because there's a river and beach and the water is good and so warm!
