Underwater Via Crucis (Puerto Madryn, Patagonia)
Every year during Good Friday, Puerto Madryn celebrates Easter with a 500m underwater Via Crucis.
The divers carry the 4-meter-long cross in the sea, guided by the city's pastor.
It ends with the pastor and divers emerging from the water at the shore, where a bonfire and a church choir await. This celebration occurs since 2001 and can be enjoyed by locals and tourists from the dock.
Easter under the full moon (Iguazu Falls, North-East Region)
As part of a mysterious natural plan, this Easter the Iguazu Falls will be iluminated by the light of a full moon.
Between the 21st and 25th of March the moonlit strolls will allow the visitors to celebrate Easter in a new way.
It's a nocturnal route which starts in Central Station to get onto the Ecological Train, and go through the jungle to the balcony above the spectacular Devil's Throat.
There, the visitor's anxiety is muted, to give way to contemplation.
