Category: Argentina

The only thing to regret about traveling to Argentina is not to spend more time there. From north to south there’s much to discover: stunning scenery, nice people, local cultures, great wine, not to forget one of the best BBQ in the world. The choice of places to visit is very hard indeed. In 5 weeks I have been in the North-West, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Buenos Aires, and a short but memorable detour to Chilean Patagonian to trek Torres del Paine.
