Bariloche has to be one of our favourite places in Argentina that we have discovered in the five weeks we spent travelling around the country. Filled with lakes and surrounded by mountains, this is the perfect location for getting back to nature and taking on a few hikes (for all capabilities). The town itself leaves […]

We have come to realise that exploring untouched parts of this earth’s natural beauty feeds our soul. And as we leave Bariloche, we both have a shared sense of contentment that we had yet to experience during our travels so far. We arrived in Bariloche (part of the Lake District of South America) with a […]

Finally, this was the Argentinian city that we were both craving; a beautiful city and well maintained. Mendoza is a famous wine region and with a shared love of wine, we couldn’t wait to explore the vineyards and winery’s outside of the city, but this doesn’t take away from the city itself, with a large […]

Think laid back university city with a fascinating history, showcased in its architecture, and coupled with a love of arts – that is Córdoba summed up. We both found this city to have a relaxed vibrancy to it, it felt safe and had a small town vibe. This certainly wasn’t what we were expecting from […]

Our latest destination in Argentina was Puerto Iguazu. We chose to spend some additional time here to visit the waterfalls and have some relaxing down time too. We couldn’t have chosen a better spot for it – the hostel was just lovely with a relaxing vibe to it, nice people staying there and really helpful […]

We have just spent five nights in El Calafate and whilst we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, we are definitely ready to move on to our next destination. We purposely built in a few extra days to have some down time but you really only need two (max three) days here to see the […]

So we are now 2 weeks into our 7 month journey and it feels like I have seen and experienced so much already. Usually this is about the time I would be heading back home after a holiday but it looks like this is just the start! What has struck me is that I have […]

After recently joining a few organised tours and jostling with a whole host of different people to get that perfect picture, it struck us that photographers are a curious breed. After observing many a photographer, we realised a few distinct groups, so have shared our descriptions of them below. (This is all just for fun. […]

Puerto Madryn wasn’t the idyllic sea side town we had imagined, however it is an ideal gateway to what we see as the three main reasons to visit the area – the Valdes Peninsula, Punta Tombo and Gaiman. Valdes Peninsula and Whale watching Full Day Tour The tour of the Peninsula in the morning is […]

As part of our Argentina trip, we planned to visit El Calafate but Laura seized the opportunity to stop in a town called Puerto Madryn on route because of its Welsh heritage. Of course I agreed to go but what I hadn’t appreciated was that I had just signed up to a 20 hour bus […]
