Frontier Markets Affect Individual Investors

Parque Nacional Rio Pilco Mayo



Thursday I met up with Benny, another Volunteers from Paraguay, in Asuncion where we spent an elegant evening. In the morning we rose, each armed with a backpack and sleeping bag, on a motorbike and roared going to Paraguay River, which forms the border with Argentina. Although there are already about to start the winter, we were very lucky with the weather. About the sun shone from a blue sky and it was almost 30 degrees.

We passed endless cattle pastures, banana plantations and above those covered Madiocafeldern eagles and vultures are circling. Afternoon we arrived at our destination: the National Park Pilcomayo.
Despite the beautiful weather we saw all weekend not only other tourists, but only the nice park ranger.
By sunset, we spent the time on a beautiful lake where Yacaré (crocodiles) basking and in which it probably is also piranhas. Despite the reassurance of the Rangers, that the animals are dangerous, I still had it better with a bath.
The lake was full also of countless birds of all sizes and colors. Also known Tucan with its huge red and yellow bill ko we observe nnten. Also regularly covered by swarms of Loritos (small green parrots) about us.

dark When it was (now it dawns already at 5 clock!), We looked for a place to sleep, built the Mosquito Net on and started a small fire. We cooked a delicious noodle soup and drank mate de Pomelo Pomelo from freshly picked. At present, namely, the Citrus epoca, so all trees are full of lemons, mandarins, oranges and pomelo. Riiiico =)

After a very elegant evening, we crawled into our sleeping bags and slept through until the next morning. At 7 AM we went with the mop ped into a tributary of the Río Pilcomayo. On the way there we drove over huge areas that are growing only one type of holly. Again, we saw huge vultures and eagles, which were sitting on the palms and eyed us. Once we flashed even a small fox on the road. Only rheas we were unfortunately not seen, which should put it here.
We basked for a few hours on the river and enjoyed the pristine nature, until we were on our way home again.

In any case, again a totally great weekend, I have particularly enjoyed, as the weeks can be counted until my return flight so slow even on the hands. On the one hand, I'm looking forward to seeing all total return, on the other hand, I will leave the wonderful land of the damned difficult ...
