Day 110 - Tierra Santa (Holy Land)

Holy Land is *UNREAL*...



After another mammoth bus ride (20 hours this time), we arrived at 8am back in the capital of Argentina, our final destination in south america before we head to New Zealand. It was sunday, God's day or rest, so we went to visit 'Tierra Santa', the world's first religious theme park. And *what* a theme park it is.







This place is nuts. Its a fibre-glass city re-enacting the events of the bible, right up to Jesus's death on the cross, and once every 30 minutes (get this...) a massive 30 foot high Jesus rises out of the mountain and turns around to face the park to the blaring sound of trumpets and the hallelujah chorus. Words just don't do it justice. This place is properly nuts.



We caught a couple of those rubbish disneyland-type shows where animatronic animals and people move woodenly in a weird theatre type performance of the Last Supper, the Creation and the Nativity. But the real highlight was the belly-performance, in which we thought the dancers heads were gonna ping off from their bodies from the amount of moshing they were doing.



This place is magical. If you are EVER in Buenos Aires, you HAVE to go here. I physically can't tell you how amazing it is. I still can't believe it actually exists.
