With temperatures hitting 90 degrees on both days last weekend, I decided it was time to make a visit to the local amusement park, Parque de la Costa. It's the largest amusement park in South America and is a smaller version of one of the Six Flags parks that are scattered around the USA. It's just a 45 minute train ride (that costs 2.2 pesos - about 60 cents) roundtrip and I splurged for a year-long pass for a whopping 100 pesos (30 dollars), so any weekend/holiday there is nice weather, I can visit. There are water rides as well and, since Buenos Aires does not have many public swimming pools, I can get my dose of cold water there!Hi, I'm Matt and at any given time, I'm usually living in Buenos Aires, Lima, Peru or Bogota. After selling my house, my car and my furniture in Connecticut, USA, I moved here in the spring of 2007 and have created this blog to share some of my experiences in South America. I hope you enjoy!
