ABSTRACT

In the evening, the author sets out on an excursion to St Fe, this is situated nearly three hundred English miles from Buenos Ayres, on the banks of the Parana. They passed the small town of Luxan, / where there is a wooden bridge over the river a most unusual convenience in this country. In the morning they arrived at St Fe. He was surprised to observe how great a change of climate a difference of only three degrees of latitude between this place and Buenos Ayres had caused. St Fe is a quiet little town, and is kept clean, and in good order. They crossed the Parana to St Fe Bajada, a town on the opposite shore. They continued slowly to sail down the noble stream: the current helped them but little. Being arrived at the mouth of the Parana, and as he was very anxious to reach Buenos Ayres, he went on shore at Las Conchas.
