With only one day in Salta, I can´t really tell you many things about it. It´s small, pretty, has a good vibe and I would have stayed longer if I hadn´t already bought the bus ticket to Chile. I can show you what I saw though 😉 Read the rest of this entry »

First of all, I´m alive. I made it to Bolivia after hard traveling through the salt plains, just wait and you´ll see.

So going back in time a couple of days, I was still in Argentina in the beautiful city of Mendoza. This city is known for having the best Malbec, a type of grape, in the world. You can visit wineries and taste a wide range of this delicacy. How could I pass this up?? Read the rest of this entry »

_MG_10651.JPG

I can´t go any further. I´m literally at the end of the World. My beloved continent ends here and the next place would be Antartica (which I would love to visit if I had US $5000!). It was not easy to come all the way to the south of South America, but it´s totally worth it. It´s cold, there is ice, snow, sea lions and I even went skiing 🙂 Read the rest of this entry »

Everyone says that if you come to Argentina you can´t miss a tango show. I think it´s a must for anybody visiting this country, but the thing is that a Tango show is expensive. I have the solution to this matter, let´s enjoy Tango, a couple of beers and wonderful night and all within a true backpacker´s budget Read the rest of this entry »
