Good luck learning Buenos Aires… You’d think that you would develop a general sense of direction after 20 years of life. But you thought wrong. Well, when you’re constantly wary of pick-pocketers and the potential of smearing dog poop across the sidewalk, it’s hard to navigate your 40+ minute walk to class… Might as well take a cab although you’re also afraid that they may take you for a joy ride in the wrong direction to jip you of your money. We have discovered that...

Traveling through the city of Buenos Aires is much like large cities in Europe, especially Madrid and Paris.  I am impressed with how much European culture has survived to this day.  The city has distinguished neighborhoods, reflecting different stages of development, having their own character.  Most neighborhoods are easily accessible by the subway.    I really enjoyed walking on Avenue 9 de Julio.  With 16 lanes, I can really appreciate how Buenos Aires is ...

Family trip. Summer, 2006

JB Boonstra     Things I wish I knew before going to Buenos Aires      Get your visa for Brazil BEFORE you come to South America if at all possible. We had an awful time at the consulate in BA trying to get our visas and when we finally did get them, they weren’t the five year visas we requested. It was an extreme headache that is made worse knowing it could have been avoided by getting my visa before I came. If you find you have to get a vis...

Primera entrada al BLOG....solamente probando que se puede hacer en el futuro y como busco la direccion de internet que me permitirá hacer las entradas durante el viaje.

hi all me and grover are now in Buenos Aries (Argentina). we arrived after a lush 16 hour coach ride. Before we took one of many epic coach rides we looked at the Arg side of the falls... they are equally amazing! met up with a quality peruvian guy and his Arg girlfriend who gave us tonnes of advice which is well received in a place where no one speaks english! Had a look around the city and a walk round the bizare  and  famous cemetry that has been in tonnes of mo...

One big adventure I'm looking forward to! Once the booking process starts, every trip is getting closer and more real. Many thanks to innotech(Mike) who gave me his agent name to book my Antarctica cruise and to all travbuddies for taking the time to detail their Patagonia's trips!(kramerdude especially)

Red Stag hunting in the beautiful area near San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina

Ah Buenos Aires! An artsy, bustling city with many colonial sites. The attractive loacals go about their days sipping mate and eating dinner really late. The pillows in our budget accomadations have a lot to be desired. The food was the most pleasant surprise. The beef so juicy, tender, and tasty cooked by a professional barbecuer. The wine fills a whole isle at the supermercado and is so good it deserves to be priced gigher than its average 2 dollars a litre. As well they are buig o...

Since leaving Heathrow airport and taking our first tentative steps in Mexico City we had travelled tens of thousands of miles by plane, train, coach and on foot. But none of this had truly prepared us for the enormity of the South American continent. After three sixteen-hour plus coach rides in Argentina we had reached the town of Rio Gallegos. Less than 200 miles south of us was Ushuaia the most Southerly City in the world. Our decision not to descend further south was largely to do with th...
