Month: May 2022

You may have noticed that we went a while without posting anything about our travels. After enjoying the mountains and desert in the Salta region, we hopped on a direct flight to Iguazu on the border with Brazil to see the amazing jungle waterfalls there. Afterward, we flew back to Buenos Aires so we could…

It is with more than a bit of regret that we say farewell to Argentina. Never did we expect to spend three months here, but now it seems there was no way we could not. Three months is nothing in a country so huge and varied. As we head across the border into Chile, it…

Sorry about the title, I couldn’t resist. Get ready, this post is as long as the falls it covers. Iguazú Falls, straddling Argentina and Brazil, are arguably the largest falls in the world. We’ll let you be the judge. It is one of the natural wonders of the world, and certainly a must to see….

This is another high-desert region in the long range of the Andes mountains with Jujuy Province sandwiched in-between its borders with Bolivia and…

Taking some time to share more photos from the end of the world. While it is Spring in the northern hemisphere, we’re deep into Fall here in Argentina. We spent a week in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego at the end of the world from April 12 to April 19. We previously shared some of the…
