Argentina

Punta Tombo, Puerto Madryn, Patagonia, Argentina

Millions of happy feet

The penguins look so hot at Punta Tombo in Argentina’s Patagonia region. Where is the ice? There are millions of them and they’re right in front of you!

bariloche, argentina, san carlos de bariloche, adolf hitler

Did Hitler actually spend his final days here?

Bariloche is an idyllic little town and the gateway to Argentina’s Patagonia region. But there are rumours it hides a dark and evil secret.

mendoza, wine argentina, malbec, carmenere

My Mendoza love affair

Falling in love with wine in Argentina’s Mendoza region is a salacious affair. The bodies of the varieties and delicate tastes are like a forbidden liaison.

difunta correa, argentina, travellers saint, vallecito, roadside shrines

The unofficial saint for travellers

The church doesn’t recognise her, but millions of people worship Difunta Correa as the patron saint of travellers. You can tell by the roadside shrines.

Ischigualasto National Park, Argentina

Man on the moon

This national park in Argentina is not the easiest to get to – but the trip is worthwhile. The stunning landscapes resemble something from outer space!

Jesuit Block, Cordoba, Argentina

My new mission

The Jesuit Block in the Argentinian city of Cordoba represents a seminal time in history as European and native cultures were brought together.

argentina, che guevara museum, cordoba, che guevara, alta gracia

Letter to Che

A visit to the Che Guevara museum at his childhood home in Alta Gracia near Cordoba left me with a lot of questions. This letter to Che asks for answers.

hostel inn iguazu, argentina, best place to stay in iguazu, puerto iguazu

Is this a hostel or a resort?

You don’t find many backpacker hostels in South America with a pool and deckchairs. But at Puerto Iguazu in Argentina, you’d think you were in a resort!

Best place to see Iguazu Falls, Argentina or Brazil

How the mighty falls

Iguazu Falls is one of the natural highlights of South America. You can see them from either the Brazilian or the Argentinian side. So which is best?
