My farewell to Argentina was a surprisingly emotional and sad one. I spent my last day in true Argentinian style eating amazing meat and drinking fine wine in great company. In total from top to bottom I calculated that I spent 60 days in the country, travelling more...

Our flight back to Buenos Aires was supposed to be a quick and painless one, with our planned arrival on the day before Monika's birthday. Unfortunately, not many things in South America are quick and painless. Because Argentina is humungous and the flight is over...

So from Punto Arenas we made our way to our final destination in the South; the end of the world. The journey was a pretty exciting one (illustrated on the map below) as Tierra del Fuego (the southernmost point of South America and the inhabited world) is an...

The next stop on our Patagonian adventure was one of the most spectacular in Argentina. From El Chaltén we made our way to Calafate, the town closest to the collection of impressive glaciers found near the border with Chile. The most impressive of all is the infamous...

Our first destination was the little village of el Chaltén. This little village set in a valley in the middle of Patagonia is one of the main trekking destinations of Argentina and the perfect place for us to prepare for our four day Torres del Paine trek and lose a...

From Bariloche we had a nice long two day bus ride all the way down to the village of El Chaltén through the Patagonian wilderness. We spent most of the time asleep, reading, staring at the scenery and eating. It's Patagonia so there is hardly any civilization, let...

So we decided that we hadn't had enough lakes yet, nor enough steak and wine, so we crossed over to Argentina to the largest city in the Argentinian lake district; San Carlos de Bariloche. As with the Chilean side, this area of Argentina was dominated by the Mapuche...

After all that wine we had to go party...

So our last destination in Argentina (until we return in a few weeks) was the wonderful Mendoza. We absolutely loved it in Mendoza; the city is beautiful, the surroundings even more beautiful, the people we met in the hostel are some of the nicest we met so far and of...

So after Santa Fe we made our way to Rosario. Although Santa Fe is the capital of the state, Rosario is the biggest city. It is also considered one of the biggest and most important cities, both culturally and financially, in the country. It has a very important port...

I never really had a passionate desire to travel in Argentina until a few years ago. I still loved the culture, literature and cinema of the region but the thought of travelling there just didnt excite me as much as other destinations in Latin America. And then in...

Posle Buenos Airesa smo dosli u grad Santa Fe u posetu moje drugarice iz Meksika Luciane. Prvo vece nas je odvela u kafic Kusturica. To je trebalo da bude iznenadjenje za mene i ja sam se odusevila kad sam videla mesto. Kafic su otvorili vlasnici jednog malog lokalnog...

So you can't really do a blog about Argentina and not mention tango. And if you love to dance as much as I do and even learnt a bit of tango in Mexico then you make a whole blog devoted solely to the dance style. Tango originated from Argentina in the late 19th...

Speaking to more and more Argentinians I soon realised there are two things even more important to boys than flirting with women- meat and football. We are yet to meet a boy who is not crazy about football and I've already had some heated discussions about which team...

So after all that drama we finally got to enjoy ourselves a little in Buenos Aires. We were lucky enough in La Paz to meet a wonderful Argentinian called Fernando who lives in Buenos and hosted us here. He helped us find the Polish embassy on the first day and has...

As some of you may have read on Monika's Facebook, we had a pretty serious glitch in the travel plans in the last week and quite a hectic week; hence why updating the blog wasn't the top priority. After Tafí del Valle, we made our way down to Cordoba with the...

So after stuffing ourselves for a couple of weeks in a row we decided to finally do some exercise and burn some calories for a change. On our way down to Córdoba we stopped off in the tranquil village of Tafí del Valle. Tafí is set in a valley overlooking a lake and...

While staying in Salta we decided to rent a car for a couple of days and take a road trip around the Valle Calchaquies, south of Salta. The region is famous for its nature and wine and the roads we took had some of the most beautiful scenery we had seen in the country...
