Hi.
We are explorers, wanderers, travelers, nomads. We strive to project the authenticity of places we visit through honest words and visuals. Enjoy!

Argentina was the last country we visited on our Round the World journey in 2018. We timed our travels perfectly, as the exchange rate in the Fall of 2018 was 37 Argentinian pesos to 1 US dollar (37:1). By way of comparison, the exchange rate just nine months prior was 15:1, with 40% inflation for the year. This meant a price conversion difference of more than half. Or, another way to look at it is that we received twice as many pesos for a single dollar (100% increase) than travelers did nine months earlier, while prices only increased 40%. In US dollar terms, we paid 60% less for goods and services in the Fall of 2018 than tourists did in January of 2018. Sweet!
Argentina’s inflation/deflation cycle is like a pin ball, constantly bouncing around, as is the relative strength of the US dollar. Adjust the prices I’ve mentioned in my posts relative to the current exchange and inflation rates when traveling to Argentina.
We spent two months traveling through Argentina, from the rain forests of Iguazu, to the deserts of Jujuy Province, to the majestic mountains of Patagonia.
“When you’re here, you’re one of us,” our tour guide Martin explained. We spent five weeks in Buenos Aires, discovering each neighborhood, drinking mate, slowing down and enjoying happiness…
Touring Argentina’s wine country is about slowing down (quality over quantity). We spent three days enjoying three unique experiences in Argentina’s wine regions and I recommend every place mentioned in this post…
While Chile’s W and O trails are the most popular Patagonian trekking circuits, Argentina has its fair share of less-trafficked routes that are just as awesome as Torres del Paine. In this guide, we share a few trails you may not have heard about in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina, Patagonia.
After a misstep that led to a broken ankle, we faced a new challenge in our travels: Accessibility. Fortunately for us, Iguazu National Park has a number of services to accommodate visitors of all ages and ability.
Salinas Grandes in Argentina is indeed worth the road trip, but not just for the dazzling destination. Argentina’s Route 52 is one of the highest roads in the world, with some of the most colorful landscapes…
Yes, you are eager to explore Argentina’s famous Route 40. But don’t rush out of Salta! This pretty town is worth a day or two of exploration before hitting the road. Here are four must-do’s!
Was this really the way to the famous Fourteen Colors Mountain (Cerro de Catorce Colores) in Humahuaca, Argentina? We took the road less traveled, but it was an adventure!
