Carnival - Gualeguachu
16/02/14 02:18 Filed in: Argentina
Carnival at Gualeguachu (Entre Rios, Argentina) is very popular. We couldn't find accommodation in town and booked a small hotel just over the bridge in Uruguay not realising that our three crossings would cost Arg$70 each.
Things didn't really get under way until around 23:00. The parade was stunning and well worth the wait.
Highly recommended but book your hotel early.

We bought tickets earlier in the day for reserved grandstand seating.
Lots of vendors selling parking. It's probably better to walk from the town centre.

Once the parade starts there is a constant stream of floats and performers from left to right down a long avenue.
