Summary
A 3-part trip, From Argentina and it's baby-brother Uruguay to the remote and curious state of Paraguay
We explored the mega-city of Buenos Aires, the falls of Iguazu and the Jesuit ruins along the way
The surprise was Salta, a desolate and rocky mountain scape far inland and hard to reach, turned out to be an absolute blast and full of fun

Challenges
All three of these countries are more 'do it slow and immerse in the culture', which isn't easy if you want to see and do a lot in a day
Getting in and around these places is especially a hassle, hostels are often booked up even off-season and there isn;t a whole lot of infrastructure to make use of
Do
Try the steak and get yourself some leather kit
Try and experiment with different styles of 'Mate', the local drink
Don't
Travel too fast or too slow, Expect days here you do absolutely nothing
