Rosario Travel Blogs | Travelogues | Travel Journals

Our next stop heading north from Buenos is Rosario, birth place of Che Guevara. What we thought would be a nice leafy little town turned out to be a huge sprawling city of concrete and neon. And the best part is we have to stay here for 2 days as there is no bus to Posados until Monday. We have enjoyed extended, painful visits to toilets more than our first night here in Rosaario! The Lonely Planet would have the world believe that the hotel Literol where we stayed was 'clean and new'. They m…

Here are some pics of my many trips down south.

This blog details the two months i spent traveling around Chile, Peru, Argentina & Brazil in the summer of 2007. At the moment it is just a map of the route I took accompanied by the photos. I intend to include a written account when i find time!

Haciendo un recorrido por Rosario - Argentina (mi ciudad natal)

Perú, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile... ...I across South America alone with my Diary

We had some time to kill and hearing that Rosario was as happening as our fave city Buenos Aires but smaller and more manageble, we decided to kill that time there.  Unfortunately.... It rained the first day and we decided that it was too much trouble to go anywhere. The 2nd day we spent the morning walking around to find a laundry and then to the outskirts of town only to find that the museum we wanted to see was closed. We walked back into town and gave up for the day.…

Quick stop in Rosario . . . Our way of keeping track of the distances traveled during our journey . . .

Hola amigos. as those of you who know me are already aware, brought down by the ennui of life in the UK and the NHS, we quit our miserable jobs and flew away for three months to see the wonders of Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. here's a few bits of our adventures. (i started this about a month into the trip but I'll try and write about the first few weeks retrospectively.)

Mis viajes de toda la vida

On Monday night, as a sign-off from Buenos Aires, I went to La Bomba de Tiempo, a percussion show in a warehouse that had rave reviews from everyone who had been. And rightly so! They played for about 2 hours, all in red overalls for some reason, and it was very good. No other instruments than the variety of drums that they were playing, with a conductor to show them the way. Yesterday I went to Rosario by coach, arriving at 5.30pm. Luckily the heavy rain in Buenos Aires had already passe…

I went to see a movie this evening, mostly to kill a few more of the 13 hours I had at my disposal between checking out of the hostel at 11 am and leaving on the bus at 12 am. The movie was The Invisible (known in Spanish as Invisi). I picked it because it was in English and it started at the right time. The movie was about a boy whose invisible spirit tries to lead the people who love him to his beaten, comatose body in the woods. It was pretty dreadful but I felt it was worth every penny of…

I made it down to Rosario after spending a couple of days with my friends in Cordoba. Argentina is spectacular. The variety of landscape is amazing. The wine country around Salta and Cordoba country with tons of small towns all around in the most amazing landscape. Argentine people are so unbelievably nice. So welcoming and friendly. Very easy to make friends with. Not to mention that the men are by far the hottest men in south america I think, colombians run a very close second. I h…

Arrived after a 20 hour bus ride at the home town of Chez Guevara. There wasn't much going on mid week except for a hockey tournament between the women's teams of Ireland, US and Argentina so I saw a few games of that.
