If you visit only one city in South America in your lifetime, chances are it’s going to be Buenos Aires (literally “good airs”). Safer, cheaper, and more family-friendly than that likely number two city Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires is heaven for tourists who want to stay busy with never-ending sights. The only problem is the city is so huge (one of the largest in the world with 13 million people) that you will only get a taste. You will know Buenos Aires like an ant knows your house, but hopefully it’s the good parts like the pantry and cookie jar. Let’s take a twenty-four hour ride through the best of what Buenos Aires has to offer.
Big Ice Of Patagonia

I resisted for a month. Travelling through central Argentina, through fun college towns and wine land, I told myself I wouldn’t visit Patagonia. I don’t have the hiking gear or the cold weather clothing. I don’t have the money. But then I saw pictures of the glaciers staring at me from a cheap hostel computer screen. Apparently it’s true — you don’t need to be in Antarctica to view these enormous rivers of ice. I’d be stupid to miss this. Three days and a $200 flight ticket later I was sitting in steerage class to El Calafate, near the Southern tip of Argentina.
