Argentina

After a lot of research I thought I knew what to expect from Argentina. Some things matched: Recoleta Cemetery is as spectacular as every review says, and Salta has a genuine energy I'd read about. The Malbec wine obsession is completely justified. What I wasn't prepared for: European-flavoured cul…

I spent 16 days in Argentina and based myself mainly in El Calafate. The city itself exceeded expectations — the Recoleta Cemetery was genuinely jaw-dropping and I ended up visiting twice. Food was a highlight throughout; I must have eaten dulce de leche everything every other day and have no regret…

We chose Argentina for our honeymoon and it was perfect for us. The romantic atmosphere in Mendoza at night, the drama of Patagonia, the intimacy of small restaurants serving dulce de leche everything — all of it added up to exactly what we were hoping for. passionate tango culture in Buenos Aires …

Argentina is a genuinely beautiful and interesting place. Perito Moreno Glacier is worth every superlative thrown at it. The Malbec wine is legitimately excellent. passionate tango culture in Buenos Aires gave the trip real depth. What I struggled with: the tourist infrastructure around the headlin…

This was my third visit to Argentina and I keep finding new reasons to return. This time I explored beyond Salta and discovered a completely different side of the country.

Bariloche's streets at dusk are an endless source of light and texture. The people, once comfortable with a camera, are extraordinary subjects. …

Took the family to Argentina for 5 days and it worked better than I'd hoped. The kids were fascinated by Quebrada de Humahuaca — more than I expected from children who usually resist sightseeing. Food was manageable: even the pickiest eater in our group found things to eat, and medialunas went down …

I went to Argentina with modest expectations and left completely won over, largely thanks to time spent in El Calafate. The city has a pace and character that travel guides undersell. Found a great spot for medialunas on day two and went back every day after that. Patagonia was the big planned expe…

Visited Argentina in shoulder season deliberately and the decision paid off completely. Perito Moreno Glacier without peak crowds is a totally different experience. El Calafate felt lived-in rather than touristy. Found a small place doing the best medialunas I've ever tasted — something that would h…

Patagonia in Argentina is extraordinary — the scale and history hit you immediately. But the experience around it has been thoroughly commercialised. Getting there, navigating the crowds, and dealing with persistent sellers around Salta centre made it more stressful than it should be. Away from the…
