Hito Tres Fronteras 三国交界点
August 26, 2025
We had fallen in love with Buenos Aires, with its elegant architecture and clean, vibrant streets. Over five days, we fully embraced the city’s extensive bus system, hopping on and off like locals. At first, we were puzzled whenever drivers asked us something we didn’t understand—only later did we realize they were asking where we would get off so they could charge the correct fare. Instead, we were always charged the maximum price. Another discovery came too late: if we had registered our SUBE card, we would have received significant discounts. Valuable lessons for a future visit.
Our flight to Puerto Iguazú was smooth and lasted just over an hour. Upon arrival, we spotted a driver outside the terminal holding a paper with my name—our prearranged pickup. For our time in Iguazú, rather than joining group tours, we decided to hire Iguazufalls.Travel to provide private transportation. This proved to be both affordable and flexible.
Our driver led us to a comfortable van and soon dropped us at our hotel for the next two nights, the Iguazú Jungle Lodge. Nestled on the outskirts of Puerto Iguazú, the lodge felt more like a resort than a hotel, with every room facing dense jungle and dotted with small waterfalls. After settling in, we walked into town for a hearty lunch featuring Argentina’s famous steak.
In the afternoon, we continued our journey to Hito Tres Fronteras, the point where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet, separated by the flowing rivers. Standing at the landmark, we could see across the borders, a symbolic spot where three nations share a single view.
From there, we strolled back to the lodge and enjoyed a lovely dinner. We went to bed filled with anticipation—tomorrow, we would finally see the mighty Iguazú Falls.
二零二五年八月二十六日
布宜诺斯艾利斯，这座城市优雅的建筑与干净整洁的街道令人着迷。五天里，我们充分体验了便捷的公交系统，几乎和当地人一样自由穿梭在城市的各个角落。来布宜诺斯艾利斯之后我们每天都要坐几趟公交车，交通卡有过几次刷卡时变负值，终于在最后一天才搞明白为什么。有时候上车刷卡时司机会对我们叽哩咕噜说西班牙语，让我们感到困惑。后来才明白，他们其实是想知道我们在哪里下车，好按距离收取正确的车费。因为听不懂无法回答，我们总是被收取最高票价。这也是为什么卡上的钱总比我们预期的用得快。因为买SUBE卡时除了交通费，还有一部分是卡本身的定金，所以上车刷到一定的负值也是可以的。另一个遗憾的发现是，如果提前注册 SUBE 卡，就能享受不少折扣。只能留待下次再访时改进了。
昨晚被临时换机场一事搞得心惊胆颤，天没亮就起床，预订的Uber准时来接我们。在航空公司柜台确认值机且拿了打印的登机牌，过安检后终于在候机厅里安心地吃了顿早餐。
飞往伊瓜苏港（Puerto Iguazú）的航班平稳顺利，仅一个多小时。抵达后，我们在航站楼外看到一位男士手举写有我名字的纸牌，他正是我们预约的接机司机。为了在伊瓜苏的几天能更加灵活自在，我们没有选择跟团，而是聘请了 Iguazufalls.Travel 提供私人交通服务，事实证明既经济又方便。
司机把我们送到 Iguazú Jungle Lodge。这家旅馆坐落在小镇边缘，四周被浓密的热带雨林包围，房间面向绿意盎然的丛林，还点缀着小瀑布。它更像是一处静谧的度假村，而非普通酒店。安顿好后，我们步行到镇中心，享用了一顿丰盛的午餐，当然少不了阿根廷最地道的牛排。
下午，我们前往三国交界点（Hito Tres Fronteras）。在这里，阿根廷、巴西和巴拉圭三国以河流分界，三方在此交汇。站在纪念碑旁极目远眺，可以同时望见三国，这是一个充满象征意义的地点。之后，我们慢慢走回旅馆，在旅馆的餐厅里享受了一顿非常惬意的晚餐。
夜幕降临，我们带着满心期待入睡——明天，将迎来此行最令人激动的时刻：壮丽的伊瓜苏大瀑布。
