For those of you joining us on this tour it looks like we will be in Bariloche for Mardi Gras on February 17. Any idea of what kind of celebration (if any) they do there?

    We were in Argentina for Halloween so we made our own party. I took paper masks and wore them for a group meal. Folks loved it and many borrowed the masks (our group of six wore masks for the main six characters in wizard of Oz) to text home photos to their family.

    Too bad you won't be in Rio for Mardi Gras/Carnaval. Would have loved that.

    Hi !
    My husband and I are traveling on this trip, with friends ...we are from Dayton Oh, and South Carolina.
    I am really wanting to bring the right curling iron that will not blow up....even with adapters, I had this problem in France....
    Can anyone recommend a brand, type, etc...would love to just buy one that works!
    Thanks, and we are really looking forward to the trip as well.

    I have a flat iron from Sally's beauty supply. It is red. Don't know if you have them where you live. It has various temperature settings. I started low and kept raising gradually for the heat I needed. My very expensive curling iron brush did blow up there though. Hope this helps. I cannot remember if i needed a converter or just an adapter.
    The hair dresser in the Buenos Aires hotel is great. A man. Does a wonderful job. I think his name begins with an "F"

    I have a curling iron that automatically changes 125/250 current. Then I used a converter for the plugs. It is JilberNano Silver by Conair Professional. I think I found it at Sally Beauty. It worked great in France as did a blow dryer that can be changed for the current. We are leaving on Wednesday to go to Santiago to meet the Patagonia tour that also begins Feb. 13. Happy travels to all!
