From Puerto Madryn, it´s an hour through the desert to the small city of Trelew, then another half hour to the town of Gaiman. It´s got Welsh origins and still is home to many casas de té. The day before, in Puerto Madryn, I go to a second hand clothing ... Read more >

Havia de conèixer Tucuman, la ciutat on es va declarar la independència argentina el 9 de juliol de 1816. De tornada cap a Buenos Aires hi faig escala, em sembla un lloc prou significatiu per tancar el viatge. Només han estat unes hores, però potser ... Read more >

El temps s'atura a Tilcara

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 | By irene_escude | Views [487]

Tilcara és un poble de la Quebrada de Humauaca, on natius amb arrels indígenes, bolivians, hippies i bohèmis s'hi barregen en els seus carrers sense asfaltar. A gairebé 3.000 metres d'alçada i envoltada per muntanyes de colors desèrtics, sento que ... Read more >

Salta la linda

Salta és una ciutat situada a 1200 metres d'altura, amb un clima fantàstic. També és provincia de plantacions de tabac i vinyes, d'arrels indígenes i rastres colonials. Han estat dies de desert, de bodegues de vi, de rafting i cannopy, de contacte ... Read more >

Estic fent escala a Corrientes sota un sol de justícia . He arribat a quarts de set del matí després de nou hores de viatge amb un autobús força còmode. A partir de les vuit del vespre m'esperen 12 hores més fins a Salta i aprofito aquesta estona ... Read more >

Their Renovating Downtown Cordoba

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 | By doreen-b | Views [613]

The City of Cordoba has put alot of effort in the last six months in improving the downtown area of Cordoba.  It was a disaster to say the least, probably one of the ugliest downtowns in Argentina according to everyone who lives here.  They have ... Read more >
