I am a lucky chica. I am staying at a gorgeous, relaxing resort. I am trying some of the best wines in Argentina (more to come on that soon). And I am eating some of the best food I have had in Argentina. Of course I have had some memorable steak dinners in Buenos Aires. […]
My Luxury Vacation at Viñas de Cafayate Wine Resort
I have been working a lot. In fact, between maintaining this website and working on the Buenos Aires City Guide, I am probably working close to 40 hours a week. No, I am not complaining. I am enjoying it. However, I need a break. And want to treat myself. Viñas de Cafayate Wine Resort invited […]
Cerrillos, Argentina: A Small Town, A King Size Bed, and Real Coffee
I have to be honest. The shared dorm in a hostel thing is getting a little old. After my Roomorama apartment in Santiago, I realized I need to treat myself to some privacy and nicer accommodations every once in a while so as not to get myself to the point that I scream at 20-something […]
Foto of the Week from … The Middle of the Andes: Lines
I escaped the flooding desert after a rather miserable bus ride that inexplicably took about 6 hours longer than it should have. It is good to be back in Argentina. When the bus crossed the Andes in the north of Argentina, it was after dark, so I could not see much. I just felt the […]
Photo Essay: An Unexpected and Beautiful Day at the Salar de Tara
After days of hanging out in San Pedro de Atacama with little to see or do besides eat an over-priced meal, I was thrilled when I found out that Cosmo Andino Expediciones was offering a private excursion to Salar de Tara. What is the Salar de Tara? Who cares!! It has to be better than […]
The Driest Place on the Planet is Flooding
The two most beautiful places on my itinerary for Chile have experienced environmental disasters just before my arrival. First, there was the fire in Torres del Paine. And now the driest place on the planet is flooding. Everything is closed. The Salar de Atacama. The Tatio Geysers. Valle de la Luna. The star-gazing tours. All […]
Foto of the Week from … Valparaiso: Street Art
Every travel blogger who has passed through Valparaíso has written about the street art, and I am not going to be an exception. I have photographed street art in Bogota and taken a graffiti tour in Buenos Aires. I just wrote about how food is one of my favorite parts of travel. Street art is […]
Best Wine Tour in Chile: Matetic in Casablanca Valley
The first bottle of Chilean wine I bought in Puerto Natales was from a tiny shop that obviously did not specialize in wines, and it only cost US$6. It was delicious. I had heard that the food in Chile is terrible, and the wine in Chile is better and cheaper than the wine in Argentina. […]
Learning to Cook in Chile: Ceviche, Pisco Sours y Mas!
I love food. When I was in Buenos Aires, I took my first cooking class ever and discovered that cooking classes are the best way to learn about and taste the traditional foods from a region. Added bonus: they are also really fun. I was warned by other travelers that the food in Chile is […]
Foto of the Week from … Valparaíso – Silhouette in a Prison
I took this photo at the Centro Cultural Ex-Carcel. The prison at this site was shut down in 1999, and late last year a cultural center was opened on the grounds. They are still renovating the prison building, and I peeked through the fence to get this silhouette of a man working inside. Click on […]
