Argentina

Argentina gets a bit of a bad rep for being an expensive country to travel in. I've spent over 3 months of my time in South America in Argentina and contrary to the critics, it's been much more affordable than I envisaged...

Spending a week in El Chalten, Patagonia, one of my favorite hikes has got to be Loma del Pliegue Tumbado. For some reason, this hike gets skipped a lot. But the panoramic views of the snow cones mountains of Patagonia are absolutely worth an extra day...

As I traveled around the country, on some of the longest bus journeys, I fell more and more for a country that I could call home for 3 months. From sharing mate and socializing, embracing the 'shh' pronunciation of 'llamas' in words, devouring the best (and cheapest) avocados, summer night asados and barbeques...

Refugio Frey is one of the most spectacular hikes from Bariloche. Either a day trip or an overnight stay, these snow-topped mountains are stunning.

On average, travel in Patagonia was one of the most expensive months of my South America trip. In this blog post, I'll take you through exactly what I spent travelling through Patagonia for one month.

Here's are some of the most amazing hikes to do whilst exploring Bariloche a must-do hiking destination on your itinerary for Patagonia...

It's hard to put into words. El Chalten had everything Patagonia could offer. From cascading waterfalls, sparkling sapphire lagunas, towering snow-coned mountains, thundering glaciers...

If you're in Buenos Aires, a really fun and easy way to explore the city is hopping on a bicycle. Relatively flat, there are a number of cycle lanes and if you're there over the summer months, traffic is considerably less as Argentinians head off for their summer holidays. A free bike is a perfect way to explore Buenos Aires for an afternoon.

Mount Fitz Roy, also known as Laguna de los Tres, is one of my favourite hikes of South America. Stunned by the sapphire blue waters, waterfalls cascading from gleaming glaciers and drinking from streams with water so clean, I'm on a quest to convince everyone just why you should go...

Trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier is not only one of my highlights of Patagonia, but of my whole trip so far! It's a feeling I never could have imagined and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to walk, dance and jump on a glacier...

Of all the cities I travelled to in South America, Buenos Aires is one that I can see myself going back to again. Having spent over 3 months in Argentina, it's a country that I've grown to become very fond of...

I love flying to new destinations but when it comes to buying a flight, I hate being priced out by an airline ticket! Scouring tickets online, I almost decided not to fly to South America until I stumbled upon Norwegian Airlines...

Diving into the local cuisine is one of my favourite things to do on my travels. I don't know about you but the hardest part of this is knowing where to go and what to eat. Getting stuck into tourist traps is so easy...

I'll be honest with you, I'm not the biggest fan of border crossings overland. Initially really hesitant as a solo traveller to cross into Bolivia from Argentina, however, I decided to give it a shot. If you're starting in Salta or one of the northern Argentinian towns in Jujuy, here's what you need to know...

There are a handful of places that I've fallen in love with over my travels and Buenos Aires is up there in the top few where I've felt at home. I arrived mid-July with a backpack full of pretty much the same clothes I had...

Cerro de Los Siete Colores (Hill of the 7 Colours) located in the picturesque little town of Purmamarca north of Salta, is composed of 7 different colours derived from different types of rock formed over millions of years. This breath-taking sight...

Salta La Linda ("Salta the Beautiful"), has so much to offer. An idyllic little town located in the heart of northern Argentina nestled next to the Andes oozes in charm and ornate colonial architecture. Flying in from Puerta Iguazu...

Everyone who visits the north-west of Argentina ends up talking about Salinas Grandes, a large salt flat located in the provinces of Jujuy and Salta. The most popular is...

The beautiful Iguazú Falls or Iguaçu Falls lies on the frontier of Brazil and Argentina. If you're visiting either of these countries, spending 2/3 days discovering one of the most stunning natural wonders of the world is an absolute must do! With over 275 distinct waterfalls...
