The size of Argentina means two things for the inquisitive traveler: there is a lot of distance to cover, but a plethora of different things to see.  From the bustling metropolis of Buenos Aires to the quiet but surprisingly busy trekking towns like El Chalten, you can pace your experience however you wish.  We have had a variety of experiences in these countries:  from eating the infamous Argentine asado in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/2008\/10\/01\/person-of-the-week\" target=\"_blank\">Bahia Blanca<\/a>, diving in waters at the end of the earth in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/2008\/10\/21\/taking-it-one-step-further\">Ushuaia<\/a>, hiking to the base of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/2008\/10\/18\/el-chalten-and-fitz-roy\">Cerro Fitz Roy<\/a> to Mendoza and Iguassu in the north.  This variety is what makes Argentina such an interesting place to go.\u00c2\u00a0 Since all of the sights are dotted mainly along extreme ends of it&#8217;s geographical borders, know that unless you&#8217;re flying there will be long bus or car rides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BUENOS AIRES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EATS<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to eating out in Buenos Aires, it might feel like you&#8217;re dealing with the same approaches to consuming meat and cheese&#8230;Would you like them separated into little pockets that are then deep fried or combined on a pizza? How about no bread at all, just a steak maybe, topped with sliced ham and 2 fried eggs?\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s also the option of having the meat tenderized layered in bread crumbs and then deep fried&#8230;missing the cheese?&#8230;order anything you like &#8216;Napolitana&#8217; to add some sauce and mozzarella&#8230;just think of it as a pizza but with a fried steak instead of the crust.\u00c2\u00a0 All of the varieties are no doubt delicious but it is possible to get sick of the standard porte\u00c3\u00b1o diet of empanadas, pizza and milanesas.\u00c2\u00a0 And no, I don&#8217;t have any idea why Argentines aren&#8217;t massively overweight because if that is not enough, most people won&#8217;t shy away from lunch and dinnertime deserts either.\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s good news, though, because for every 800 typical corner restaurants, there are definitely some solid, well priced gems scattered about the city.<\/p>\n<p>One of my all time fav&#8217;s is<a title=\"Los Sabios\" href=\"http:\/\/www.guiaoleo.com.ar\/detail.php?ID=1425\" target=\"_blank\"> Los Sabios<\/a>. Depending on how much time you have left in Buenos Aires when you first visit Los Sabios, you&#8217;ll be back. Belie&#8217;dat!\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s an all-you-can-eat, all vegetarian Chinese buffet and the rotating spread is simply stunning.\u00c2\u00a0 Did I mention it&#8217;s all you can eat for only 18 pesos?\u00c2\u00a0 Los Sabios is also a good visit as it is will get you out of whichever barrio you&#8217;re staying in (and most likely haven&#8217;t left, don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s quite common).\u00c2\u00a0 While Los Sabios is all you can eat, there are some other health food and vegetarian options out there.\u00c2\u00a0 If you&#8217;re staying downtown, or just in the mood for a massive burrito, check out <a title=\"California Burrito Company\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiaburritoco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">California Burrito Company<\/a>. You can pick your own ingredients (I suggest all of them) and then your combo meal for under 8 USD. While you&#8217;re in the neighborhood, check out one of <a title=\"Pura Vida\" href=\"http:\/\/www.puravidabuenosaires.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pura Vida<\/a>&#8216;s locations for a made to order smoothie and fresh veggie and quinoa sandwich.\u00c2\u00a0 Out in the heart of Palermo, don&#8217;t miss <a title=\"La Esquina de las Flores\" href=\"http:\/\/www.esquinadelasflores.com.ar\/\" target=\"_blank\">La Esquina de las Flores<\/a>, which has a restaurant and small holistic grocer.\u00c2\u00a0 An absolute favorite cafe is El Federal at the corner of Carlo Calvo and Peru in San Telmo, and you&#8217;ll be back there too. \u00c2\u00a0When going after a brunch that is sophisticated and delicious, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/buenos-aires\/restaurants-cafes\/venue\/7914\/olsen\" target=\"_blank\">Olsen<\/a> in Palermo is where you&#8217;ll want to get a table.<\/p>\n<p>GOING OUT<\/p>\n<p>Finding a place to go out in Buenos Aires is about the easiest thing you can do, finding a place that could easily be a place you frequent in your hometown but with better looking porte\u00c3\u00b1os is a little harder.\u00c2\u00a0 Adjusting to the porte\u00c3\u00b1o nighttime schedule can also be quite difficult.\u00c2\u00a0 Eating dinner around nine and hitting bars or clubs around 11 will put you about 2-3 hours ahead of schedule.\u00c2\u00a0 That&#8217;s bad.\u00c2\u00a0 It will take some time getting used to, but dinner, even during the week, is generally between 11pm and 12am and bars start to fill up around 2&#8230;so go ahead and plan on not getting to bed until at least 5am whether you like it or not.\u00c2\u00a0 You&#8217;re welcome to do what you want, but most bars don&#8217;t open until after 10 and it&#8217;s a little awkward to be the first ones anywhere.\u00c2\u00a0 A great exception to the rule is expat (of course) run <a title=\"Sugar Bar\" href=\"http:\/\/sugarbuenosaires.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sugar Bar<\/a> in Palermo, hosting happy hour from 9-12am for 5 peso pints of Quilmes.\u00c2\u00a0 They are open from lunch and is likely the only place in Buenos Aires to serve up a heaping plate of nachos.\u00c2\u00a0 A little out of the way, is <a title=\"Le Cigale\" href=\"http:\/\/whatsupbuenosaires.com\/tourism\/goingout_view.php?id=189\" target=\"_blank\">Le Cigale<\/a> downtown, but worth the trip on a Thursday night for live rock and roll or Tuesday for 3 peso Pastis. If rock and roll is what you&#8217;re really missing then check out the schedule at <a title=\"Salon Puerredon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fotolog.com\/spueyrredon\" target=\"_blank\">Sal\u00c3\u00b3n Pueyrredon<\/a> to see what&#8217;s playing any night of the week.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s a huge space with a stage on each of the two upper floors.\u00c2\u00a0 Most bands from Buenos Aires have Myspace pages for you to sample what you might be getting yourself into ahead of time.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Just be sure you don&#8217;t forget your leather jacket and\/or converse&#8230;or do, and see what happens&#8230;just kidding, there is honestly far less pretentiousness, if any, to be encountered among any scene here.\u00c2\u00a0 Quite refreshing.\u00c2\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicetoclub.com\" target=\"_blank\">Niceto Club<\/a> is the best dance club by far.\u00c2\u00a0 Resident Thursday night DJ crew <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicetoclub.com\/evento?id=547&amp;fecha=jueves_13_de_noviembre&amp;evento=zizek_urban_beats\" target=\"_blank\">Zizek<\/a> have even captured international attention sighting their talent for spinning cumbia, dancehall, reggaet\u00c3\u00b3n and emerging hip hop-not to mention stuff you&#8217;ve never heard of.\u00c2\u00a0 Be sure to check out the party <a href=\"http:\/\/club69.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Club 69<\/a> downstairs on the same night (but check the website just in case, to make sure you&#8217;re into that kind of thing!) If at this point you have made it past 4am (hey, don&#8217;t beat yourself up about it&#8230;everyone else is doing it) then the next (ill)logical step is a little haunt called <a title=\"Kim y Novak\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kimynovak.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kim y Novak<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For daily listings of nightly happenings\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/whatsupbuenosaires.com\/wuba2\/\" target=\"_blank\">What&#8217;s Up<\/a> Buenos Aires generally has the right idea.<\/p>\n<p>Also, some ideas for how to spend your days besides just taking it all in from the city&#8217;s sidewalks:<\/p>\n<p>Check out\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mitegaleria.com.ar\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mite Galeria<\/a> for monthly art openings or go anytime mid week to browse what&#8217;s on the walls and shelves in Nicolas Barraza&#8217;s impressive studio\/gallery space.<\/p>\n<p>Renting bikes through\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.labicicletanaranja.com.ar\">La Bicicleta Naranja<\/a> for 8 peso\/hour is one of the most fun ways to get around but you might want to give your first go on a Saturday and Sunday when street traffic is substantially less&#8211;or if you&#8217;d rather you can book a laid back 3 hour bike tour for 80 pesos.<\/p>\n<p>When you begin to get sick of the city itself, it&#8217;s easy to feel miles away on the shore of the Rio de la Plata in the 350 hectares of greenspace belonging to the\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reserva_Ecol%C3%B3gica_de_Buenos_Aires\" target=\"_blank\">Ecological Reserve<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>WHERE TO STAY<\/p>\n<p>There is absolutely no shortage of hostels in Buenos Aires but try to make sure to book at least your first night in advace.\u00c2\u00a0 And unless you&#8217;re desperate, stay away from any hostels located downtown (microcentro) as you&#8217;re sure to regret it once you&#8217;re aware of what the other neighborhoods have to offer.\u00c2\u00a0 Some favorites:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.palermohouse.com.ar\" target=\"_blank\">Palermo House<\/a> is your all around best bet in terms of the bang you get for your buck.\u00c2\u00a0 Great location, with rooftop area for weekly asados!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hostelcarlosgardel.com.ar\" target=\"_blank\">Hostel Carlos Gardel<\/a> is quiet and cozy, just like San Telmo but somehow both the neighborhood and hostel know when to party at just the right times.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hostelsuites.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hostel Suites Obelisco<\/a> is an HI certified hostel meaning that if cleanliness is your #1 priority, then pick this place.

Palermo a try.\u00c2\u00a0 Some are more typical hotels just with minimalist design but some are really somthing special.\u00c2\u00a0 <a

href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/2008\/11\/23\/back-to-argentina-again\" target=\"_blank\">Mendoza<\/a> &#8220;a must&#8221;. \u00c2\u00a0There are plenty of hostels and hotels catering to the recent boom but we selected <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hotelaquamiel.com\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel Agua Miel<\/a> located in the Maipu district. \u00c2\u00a0It is straight from the pages of Dwell and the family behind it will make you feel like their own.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to plan a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/2008\/11\/23\/back-to-argentina-again\" target=\"_blank\">wine tour,<\/a> your absolute best bet is to go with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aventurawine.com\/en\/tours\/wineries\" target=\"_blank\">Aventura &amp; Wine<\/a> for their 100% personalized tour services and an experience for the most unbelievable wine and food pairings you can ever imagine!<\/p>\n<p><strong>RANDOM INSIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DEALING WITH THE PESO:<\/p>\n<p>When visiting Buenos Aires you should also be aware that 100 peso bills are the most common to receive out of an ATM, however you will find that no one will have the change to be able to break that bill.\u00c2\u00a0 Try paying for a 10 peso cab ride with 100 without getting some serious attitude from the driver-if he even has change at at all.\u00c2\u00a0 Also, it appears that the coins are more valuable than their paper money.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 So you can consider yourself a superstar for ever having correct change!\u00c2\u00a0 Otherwise, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re most likely to get some attitude yet again. For example, you might think you have lucked out when you have a 20 peso bill in order to buy something that costs 11.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, not quite, because you will get asked for that one peso coin so that they can give you a 10 back instead of having to dole out their coins and for some reason \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No, no tengo nada mas. Lo siento.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really cut it.\u00c2\u00a0 But you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get used to it and as your confidence grows (after about week 4 or so) you can give your cab driver or the lady at the market a hard time right back.\u00c2\u00a0 You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6!\u00c2\u00a0 An easy way around this is to pull out an odd amount from the ATM, say instead of withdrawling and even 500.00 try 490.00 so you can at least get some fifty and twenty notes to get ya going.<\/p>\n<p>As with anywhere make sure you have smaller notes and an ample cash supply before heading away from bigger towns. For example, there are no ATM machines in El Chalten (but they will accept most credit cards) and the nearest banks are over 200 kms away in El Calafate.<\/p>\n<p>If you just want a glass of water, simply ask for just that &#8220;un vaso de aqua, por favor&#8221; because &#8220;aqua sin\/con gas&#8221; will be sure to lead to paying for a whole bottle. If it&#8217;s the whole bottle you&#8217;re after then you will be asked how many glasses as most people will share one bottle at a time between a table, ordering them subsequently if desired&#8230;just like wine!<\/p>\n<p>Only ride the Subte at rush hour if it is absolutely necessary because if that sucker breaks down in between stops while you&#8217;re sandwiched in there, feet not even touching the ground, mind over matter won&#8217;t help you through it.<\/p>\n<p>The bus can get just as crowded but one thing to know here is to tell the driver how much you&#8217;re paying for before putting any money in the machine.\u00c2\u00a0 Only rides less than about 8 blocks are .90 centavos so odds are you simply say &#8220;un peso&#8221; before depositing it in the machine&#8230;just follow the crowd on this one.<\/p>\n<p>Brief language differences:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spanish&#8221; is referred to as &#8220;Castellano&#8221; where &#8220;Espa\u00c3\u00b1ol&#8221; is used as an adjective describing something or someone from Spain, or for foreigners not in the know on this one.\u00c2\u00a0 The pronounciation of &#8220;castellano&#8221; is another example of a linguistical feature of the region, known as ye\u00c3\u00adsmo, where &#8216;ll&#8217; (and &#8216;y&#8217;s) are spoken with a soft &#8220;sh&#8221; sound.\u00c2\u00a0 So, ordering your <em>chicken to go<\/em> is &#8220;po-sho para shevar&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 Get it? If you don&#8217;t know, you will. Grammatically speaking, this specific dialect also utilizes saying \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcvos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as the second person singular pronoun instead of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dct\u00c3\u00ba\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 So you might find yourself receiving odd looks for replying with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153muy bien gracias <em>\u00c2\u00bfY t\u00c3\u00ba<\/em> ?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d when a locals asks <em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00c2\u00bfC\u00c3\u00b3mo est\u00c3\u00a1s?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\u00c2\u00bfQu\u00c3\u00a9 tal?&#8221; is something that you will hear quite frequently.\u00c2\u00a0 It is pretty informal and can translate to &#8220;how are you?&#8221; or even a form of &#8220;what&#8217;s up&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>Dates and seasons to consider:<\/h3>\n<p>The summer months of December through January can be unbearably hot, especially in the almost already stifling Buenos Aires.\u00c2\u00a0 The winters in Buenos Aires are quite mild, but can easily approach or dip below 0C at night but there are far fewer tourists, which is nice.\u00c2\u00a0 The two holiday months where most of the country can be on vacation leaving places even like Buenos Aires rather quiet are January and July.\u00c2\u00a0 Therefore the beaches will be more crowded in January while the ski resorts are packed in July.<\/p>\n<p>For viewing wildlife on Peninsula Valdes, March is the only month that will guaruantee a sighting of a killer whale sliding on the beach nabbing at seals.<\/p>\n<p>We also wouldn&#8217;t want you to miss El Chalten&#8217;s birthday party on the second weekend of October.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TWBR Guides and Insights: \u00c2\u00a0slightly random, somewhat subjective but always helpful.
