Buenos Aires... City that caught my heart! If there was one city in South America that I would like to call home, it would be BA. The city combines European style with Latino passion, it's sexy while elegant, beautiful and alive, it just has to get under your skin. From certain angles, it might look... Continue Reading →

But of course, the number one attraction of El Calafate is the Perito Moreno Glaciar! You can either go directly there and walk along the terrasses. You’ll enjoy the panoramic view from afar for hours, trust me. You have different paths, easy and less. Or you can go a bit crazy and book a mini... Continue Reading →

El Calafate’s name comes from the calafate fruit. Typical from Patagonia, it’s found on both the Argentinian and Chilean side. It ressembles a blueberry and is a super nutriment, amazing for different health issues and digestive purposes. It’s also a good beauty allie! It’s a very strong fruit, as it has to survive such cold... Continue Reading →

Ushuaia, the southernmost city of the world, as the Argentinians say. I need to point out that there is a small village even lower, called Puerto Williams, but it’s in Chile and it’s very small. So we can still consider Ushuaia as fin del mundo (end of the world). The weather can be very unstable... Continue Reading →

Tigre is a popular day trip from Buenos Aires because of its peacefulness and cute little streets. It’s also known for its delta with hundreds of tiny islands and canals. Take a train from Retiro for about 40-50 min, for a ride with the Sube card (about 9 pesos). You can easily start a day... Continue Reading →

Puerto Madryn is a small city on the Atlantic coast. It's the closest city to the Peninsula Valdes (except Piramides but that's more a tourist trap hole than a city!). The city itself doesn't have much to offer in terms of activities or entertainment. But you can walk on the beach or watch the beautiful... Continue Reading →

Mendoza is one of the great wine capitals in the world, known for its Malbecs and variety of bodegas (vineyards). But I will not be praising this city, as I was really disappointed. Maybe because I’ve visited Bordeaux and other wine regions, I was biased but Mendoza really didn’t hold to my expectations. The city... Continue Reading →

Argentinian cuisine is the reflection of its culture and history: a mix between local and immigrants' flavors. Alfajores: sort of cookie filled with dulce de leche. But it's a way of life here and every city has its own specialty! I do recommend the ones covered in glazed sugar. Asado: the beef is so incredible... Continue Reading →

Córdoba is a university city, young and dynamic and as such has a happening nightlife scene. A legend is said that the city was named as a gift for the wife's founder, as she was from Córdoba (Spain). People of Córdoba, Cordobesas, are known as fun-loving cuarteto dancers (cumbia) and I can say I've seen... Continue Reading →

Cafayate, a few hours south of Salta, is well known for its vineyards and torrontés grapes. From Salta, you can easily take a day tour visiting the vineyards and the Quebrada de las Conchas (about 700 pesos for the day tour including the guide). People say there are 360 days of sun in Cafayate, which... Continue Reading →

First big city I've visited in Argentina and wasn't disappointed! It has a population of about 620 000 inhabitants, which makes it the second most populated city in the northwest of the country. Nicknamed Salta la Linda (Salta the beautiful) because we believe the name comes from Quechua meaning "beautiful", it has become a major tourist destination...

Humahuaca gets its name from an Indian tribe called the omaguacas. The word means "sacred river" or "river that always will remain". The small village is a main gateway to the viewpoint of its surrondings, and essentially the Serranías del Hornocal (Hornocal range of mountains), although you can also make the day trip from other cities such...
