I stayed in Buenos Aires for 3 days. That was enough for me. Great city. Then I flew to Bariloche. From there I took a bus down to Patagonia. I met other women and we hung out. I loved Patagonia.
Posted: April 9, 2023We visited Argentina last summer. We stayed in Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Mendoza. It was a very fun and adventure-filled trip. We used the Blue Dollar rate almost exclusively by sending money to ourselves at Western Union. I was very leery of carrying that much cash into the country and dealing with seemingly sketchy cambio people (although many people maneuver that just fine). We were able to pay for our hotels in pesos which saved us a tremendous amount of money. We had no problem getting cabs and they were also very inexpensive. Our highlights in Buenos Aires were Caminito in La Boca, Recoleta, and a bike ride in the parks of Palermo. And the food was wonderful - empanadas and dulce de leche. I was also surprised by how huge the city is and the very few English-speaking tourists.
Posted: March 25, 2023I went to Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Mendoza in Argentina, and took a ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay and stayed there for a weekend, then about a week in Montevideo. I never felt at all unsafe - I was staying with an old friend in Montevideo, which even though I was mostly wandering about by myself.
Posted: February 7, 2023I loved Argentina. Mendoza for beautiful countryside views (don't miss Aconcagua) and tons of wineries. Ushuaia - end of the world and "penguin island". Calafate for the glacier national Park. Buenos Aires is such a great city all around - so much to do and see. Salta/jujiy for Puramarca (hill of 7 colors), Tilcara, Humahuaca, Salt flats.
Posted: November 17, 2022Beautifull places, great hikes and a lot of nature. Also a lot of small cute cities you can just wander around. Very safe when traveling alone and I did almost everything with (night) busses.
