We only had 2 1/2 days there before heading to Santiago, but we really enjoyed it – here’s a quick trip report: Wine tasting: Choices, choices, choices! There are [...]

…because clearly we don’t get enough wine here. We’ll have to get up very early tomorrow (by which I mean ~9am!) and head to the airport. A few days in Mendoza followed by a few days in Chile to finally settle once and for all who has better wine. It’s a hard job, but someone [...]

This post is WAY overdue. Thank you for the reminders! Almost 2 months ago we went on a day trip to the Tigre Delta to go Kayaking. Our spanish school (Vamos!) recommended a tour company to us called El Dorado Kayak. A day of kayaking outside of the city sounded great, so we signed up [...]

It’s a beautiful property with only 30 rooms in a great location – the landscapes surrounding Cafayate and on the drive down from Salta city are stunning (check out our Salta trip review). We were [...]

Trip report on Salta and northwest Argentina

We’ve heard that the rest of the country thinks porteños are snobby and that, in reverse, porteños think people from the provinces are unsophisticated and that [...]
