Уральская весна, 22 марта 2012 года

Сегодня утром последний раз сбегал на лыжах и убрал их в кладовку до следующей зимы. Что то я поспешил. К вечеру как видите картина радикально изменилась.

Итоговая версия маршрута по Южной Америке

      Итак первая версия маршрута в Бразилию и Аргентину претерпела изменение.
Путешествовать стало просто. Но я решил еще более упростить эту поездку. Большую часть маршрута заказал у местных туристических компаний. Немного времени оставил на личные передвижения. Решил съездить так - по простому :-)
Доводы:
- местные лучше знают места еды и ночлега - куда попало не поведут
- голова отвалилась смотреть, планировать, изучать. В первый раз было интересно, а сейчас решил расслабиться
- у местных компаний ночлег зачастую дешевле чем самому бронировать - у них приличные скидки на бронирование отелей и билетов. Я своих дожал еще на 10% скидки.
- платил все по кредитной карте. Не понравится - верну деньги :-)
Краткий маршрут:
Пермь - Франкфурт - Рио - Игуасу - Буэнос - Седона - Буэнос - Рио - Франкфурт - Пермь
От Екатеринбурга  до Перми  туда и обратно на машине.

Ну собственно сначала вот карта маршрута а под ним общее расписание, если кому интересно
