Quebrada de Humahuaca

by GentleSpirit

This is one of the most memorable, colorful and fascinating parts of a trip to the Argentine north. The Quebrada de Humahuaca was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2003.What it is is a gorge 190 km long. Here you will see some of the most amazing naturally occuring colors anywhere. If you look at the Paleta del Pintor (the Painter's Palette) in Mainara or the Cerro de Siete Colors (the Hill of Seven Colors) in Purmamarca you will see.There are a lot of activities available in this part of the country, but please remember that you are at the foothills of the Andes. You will be at altitude much of the time in the Quebrada, so prepare yourself accordingly.The Quebrada de Humahuaca was named a World Heritage site because it has been a crossroads for civilizations since it was originally settled by the indigeous people some 10,000 years ago.

Yerba Mate

by GentleSpirit

In pictures of Argentina you will sometimes see a gaucho sipping on a long metal straw from a gourd. What he is doing is drinking yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis,) which is made from the leaves of the tree (similar to holly tree). This is mainly grown in the subtropical humid areas, especially in Misiones Province and the northeast of the country. The yerba mate is a cheap substitute for coffee, with a taste and ritual of preparation all its own. Does it have caffeine, yes. Does it give you the same lift as the caffeine in coffee, I personally don't think so. You can buy it flavored, mostly in fruit flavors. I personally drink yerba the traditional way, no flavoring. The taste is a bit bitter (depending on the brand) and most people put a bit of sugar on top of it. It doesn't really have an aftertaste that stays in your mouth, by the way.By the way, yerba mate is very good for you!...

The Andean Northwest

by GentleSpirit

The main places most tourists will visit in the Andean Northwest are in Salta and Jujuy Provinces.Here you will find an amazing diversity of sights.Here you can explore a different side of Argentina. This region was once part of the Inca Empire. The people look different. They are less European. Their food and drink is different as well, using more of the Andean staples.If you go outside Salta you will go through tiny villages where the old traditions are still very much alive. If you get a chance stay for one of the festivals, they will be memorable for sure.For the outdoor enthusiast this is a wonderful region. The landscapes include wonderful colors, deserts, high mountains, canyons. There are some areas that are classified as jungle.There are ample opportunities for "andinismo"-hiking and mountaineering. Be careful though, the altitude will affect you! You should plan on at least 10...

Tour of the city

by jdpfu

On the 1st day, take a paid tour of the city to get your bearings. This will introduce you to the different barrios, where to shop, where the government stuff is, Tango, and Futbal (probably only 1 team since your guide will certainly forget the other 10+ teams exist).Seeing the main sites spread around the city was interesting and hearing our attractive guide provide background on each added to the total fun.I still remember her ending the story about almost every statue with "and he was a son of a *** too." I left thinking that Argentine was ruled by "sons of ***es" more as a rule than an exception. As usual, politics in foreign countries are seldom simple to understand, Argentinia isn't any different, so a "is that so" or "I don't understand the topic well enough to comment" is probably the best answer.If you have strong feelings about soccer teams, it might be best to keep those to...

MY TOP THINGS TO DO IN BUENOS AIRES

by jumpingnorman

Lots of stuff to do in Buenos Aires. I liked modern and cosmopolitan Puerto Madero where they have a very nice bridge that some say looks like it's dancing the Tango...and talking about Tango, yes you do have to see a Tango show. And then they do have an outdoor crafts market/fair at San Telmo on Sundays, and also enjoy walking around palermo Park where you will see the skill of dog walkers walking ten dogs! But watch your steps - poop on the road. Then of course, go see Evita - her grave which is surprisingly small but outshining the bigger ones because of her celebrity status - her grave is at Recoleta Cemetery. Also see the Obelisko which is near the Plaza Mayor where they have demonstrations on Fridays/weekends. I witnessed one and it was interesting and I saw someone throw a bottle at a bank - but not trying to hit people, just the bank. And while you're at that area, walk over to...

Bariloche

by GentleSpirit

Bariloche is the main city in Patagonia. It is famous for many things, more than anything else its spectacular location in what is known as the Lake Region. Bariloche is on the Nahuel Huapi lake at the foothills of the Andes. For sports enthusiasts it is known as the center for winter sports. Cerro Catedral is the biggest ski center in South America. There are a multitude of outdoor activities ranging from hang gliding to skiing to hiking to rafting etc. There is also some of the best fishing in South America nearby.Bariloche is crowded with tourists, particularly if you arrive during Argentine school holidays.You will absolutely want to see the many miradores around the city. Cerro Campanario is a particularly good one if you want to see the Llao Llao Peninsula, it will take your breath away! This is more of an active destination. The scenery around here is magnificent!

visit Buenos Aires

by GentleSpirit

Your point of arrival in Argentina will most likely be Buenos Aires for most people. Even on the tightest of itineraries, give yourself at least 3 days to enjoy this wonderful cityMany people will compare Buenos Aires to Paris, and though it does have some architectural similarities, its like comparing apples and oranges. Anyone who has been to Italy will immediately recognize the rhythm that porteños speak with, it sounds more Italian than Spanish. Argentines know how to celebrate life, join them! There are lots of great restaurants in this city. The specialty is usually beef, but with all the nationalities that emigrated to Argentina you will find just about anything you want if you do some looking. If you like to dance you will have to first get a good look at the tango, both the professionals that dance at shows as well as the common people that dance just for fun. It is a modern,...

Visit an Estancia

by GentleSpirit

A somewhat touristy, though very fun, excursion is going out to one of the estancias near Buenos Aires. (San Antonio de Areco is a favorite) Usually, you will get so see at least part of the working ranch, some of the history of the estancia and its owners. You will be treated to a demonstration of horsemanship, perhaps some calf roping and sit down to a parillada. The estancias vary tremendously, some concentrated on breeding polo ponies, others were exclusively cattle operations. If you get to see one of the estancias farther out in the provinces you might get a more genuine taste of what life is like on one of these working ranches. You might also want to check with your travel agent, some of the estancias double as bed/breakfasts and some, particularly in Patagonia, offer great opportunities for outings and other tours.Please visit my San Antonio de Areco pages for more information.

Pet and feed wild animals!

by livinlovenlaugh

Lujan zoo about an hour outside of Buenos Aires is one of only 5 zoo's in the world where you can interact with wild animals. It was a once in a lifetime treat! Lions, tigers and Bears OH MY! Our Taxi driver was happy to bring us there for $120 U.S. and wait for 4 hours while we intermingled with these amazing animals. The entrance fee was $25. pp U.S. I would love to recommend this driver though I understand it is not permitted you may contact me for more information though. :)

Iguazu Falls

by livinlovenlaugh

What an amazing and memorable experience Iguazu Falls is a wonderland of beauty. You are simply awe struck from the first moment you see one of the falls. You will find it very easy to follow the maps no guide is needed. From the Argentina side the entrance fee is aprox. $25. US. per person. They tell you it is not possible to do the whole park in a day I disagree. We started when they opened and were done by 2 p.m. However if you need to take it a little easier they offer a second day return at half price. I would suggest in the summer that you visit the Garganta Del Diablo first. It is approximately 2 miles of catwalks over the river. The sun is very intense in the later part of the day. Then I would do the Sendero Macuco the rainforest is best in the morning. Then to the Circuito Superior and then the Circuito inferior. If your very lucky as we were San Martin Island will be open. It...
