Last month my Argentine friend Rocio and I decided to escape the city and head up north to get a taste of life in Argentina’s northern provinces of Salta and Jujuy. To be honest, before I made the trip to Salta & Jujuy I felt like there had been something missing from this adventure, like … Continued
I figure instead of telling you about my great week, I might as well show you. Here’s how it played out… MONDAY: Buenos Aires contemporary artist shmorgishborg @ ArteBA ’10 Monday afternoon I went down to La Rural in Plaza Italia to soak up some much needed culture. The coolest thing about Buenos Aires is that it’s … Continued
I know TLC told us that we shouldn’t go chasing waterfalls, but I bet you anything Chilli, Left Eye and T-Boz have never seen the Iguazu Falls in Argentina. If so, they would never “stick to the rivers and the lakes that they were used to”. Instead they would be taking speed boats under massive water … Continued
Few countries in the world offer such stunning natural and climatic diversity as Argentina, the second-largest country, after Brazil, in South America and the eighth largest in the world.

Wait, let’s step back a second… Regulating like Nate Dogg and Warren G, Dad and I touched down in Iguazu Falls from a quick exhale in Buenos Aires after our Mendoza & Chile excursion.

While in Mendoza, Dad and I ventured out on a Bicycle Wine Tour in Lujan (outside of Mendoza) for a day of wine tasting, cardio and chaos. This is how it went down… 9am – Caught a public bus at the bus stop near the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Mendoza. Although we had no guide … Continued
Jumping off a cliff at the base of the Andes Mountains is a bit risky. With that being said, It would’ve made me feel better if we hadn’t been picked up to do so in a beat-up, rusted-red, Chevy Neon. Maybe it was the broken windshield or the stalling at red lights but something doesn’t … Continued
***UNCENSORED*** Sunday was a great day. I learned that tofu is still disgusting and mirrors on ceilings are amazing. I met a lady friend over in Barrio Chino for some delightful asian cuisine and followed it up with a little afternoon delight in a Belgrano telo. I know what you’re thinking… is he really going … Continued
Imagine yourself driving home from a nice evening out on the town. Maybe you had a big dinner with friends, drank some wine and had a few laughs. Now imagine as you’re heading back to your condo or hotel along the water you notice a commotion in the distance. You look closer and see something … Continued
