Argentina
From the impressive cascades
of the North to the breeze regions of the South, Argentina has it all. The
romance of the Far South Patagonia enchanted the minds of many for decades.
The large expanse of “nothing” can only challenge the imagination
that tries to force in stories. But beside the large expanse are the natural
wonders of the Patagonian Andes, from pristine glaciers and alpine lakes to
snow covered peaks and ancient forests, Patagonia representing one of the
worlds few remaining truly remote areas whose rugged beauty never stops to
intrigue you.
We traveled in this remote part of the world and visited the fascinating glaciers
of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares where Perito Moreno has its exquisite place.
We hiked the forest paths that bring you at the base of the famous peaks around
El Chalten, Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. From there we flew to Tierra del Fuego,
a region spread between Chile and Argentina, where we hiked again in Parque
Nacional Tierra del Fuego and sailed to watch the amazing wild life of the
Beagle Canal, on whose shore rest the city of Ushuaia, Fin del Mundo, the
way the locals call it, with its dreaded old time prison.
Between tango and soccer, Buenos Aires breathes its long summer days adoring
its main three icons, Evita, Che and Maradona. For a first viewer the city
is more than impressive, with its wide boulevards and remarkable architectural
treasures. Restaurants are staying late till hours that I could not discover
and their patrons start to congregate for dinner at 11pm for a delicious and
oversized "lomo" and a bottle of Mendoza wine.
You can spend each evening you are in the city in a different "barrio"
and your experience would be completely different like you would visit various
cities.
We visit the majestic buildings of the Microcenter, with the Congress, Casa
Rosada and its old cafes like the famous Café Tortoni. From there is
just a just a short walk to the very modern world of the new renovated lofts
and glitzy restaurants of Puerto Madero, spanned by the elegant lit bridge
designed by Calatrava.
A world apart from it is Palermo, with its elegant boutiques and cozy restaurants
or the more elegant Recoletta where its cemetery may not sound like
a hip attraction but the funerary monuments and its alleys are impressive
even for the most adventurous and adrenaline addicted type of travelers.
The tango and soccer lives intensely in La Boca and San Telmo, where the tango
is danced at every corner and restaurant and the papier mache statues of Maradona
adorns the balconies of the "fauve" colorful buildings. The heart
of La Boca, Caminito, dangerous during the night, is flooded with tourists
during the day that latter on, move from the street tango to the sumptuous
interiors of the famous tango places of San Telmo.
