20 Perfect Days in Argentina

20 Perfect Days in Argentina 01/07/2004 03:33 PM

Argentina is a fabulous place for people from the northern hemisphere to enjoy a vacation from our cruel dark winter.  Here are some good reasons to visit Argentina:

• 15-17.5 hours per day of sunlight in December and January
• incredibly friendly people, enough of whom speak English that you can get around reasonably well without Spanish skills
• beautiful unspoiled scenery, one of the only parts of South America that still has some wilderness
• less rain and wind than Chile--Argentina is on the eastern side of the Andes and therefore in their "rain shadow"
• ridiculously low prices ever since the 2001 devaluation; hotels and restaurant meals are 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of comparable services in the U.S.
• families traveling with children will find the little ones welcomed everywhere

Days 1-3:  Buenos Aires.  Most of the domestic flights within Argentina leave from the downtown airport.  You, on the other hand, will be arriving at Ezeiza, a 45-minute trip from the center of town.  If you've already got your luggage and are in a taxi you might as well spend a few days exploring B.A.  rather than attempting to catch a flight somewhere else.  B.A. is a lifestyle city more than a tourist city so try to get some introductions to friends or relatives of friends.

Day 4-6:  Iguazu Falls.  A 1.5-hour flight to the NE brings you into subtropical jungle and the world's most powerful waterfall.  The falls are best explored from the Argentine side.  If you are a U.S. citizen you need to get a visa in advance and fork over $140 to visit the Brazilian side, which really isn't worth the trouble unless you're desperate to take a scenic helicopter flight (banned in Argentine airspace).  If you've got the Brazilian visa it might be worth adding an extra day.  Once in Brazil you have the opportunity to proceed further across the Paraguayan border and visit a big hydroelectric project upstream, sadly one that inundated a waterfall of a similar size and beauty to Iguazu.

Day 7-14: fly from Iguazu to San Martin de los Andes, in northern Patagonia (might be a little tough to arrange, at least without an overnight in B.A.). Try to find a rental car that you can drop off in Bariloche and/or take a "Seven Lakes route" tour bus at the end of your stay in San Martin.  Be aware that even in the middle of summer Patagonia can be a chilly 10-20 degrees C and windy.  At 41 degrees south the latitude here is comparable to Boston in the Northern Hemisphere.  However, there isn't a big continental land mass to generate hot summer temps.  Patagonia is like a little finger poked into the cold Southern Ocean.

Day 15-17: Calafate.  Unless you've seen a lot of glaciars in Alaska or New Zealand, the sight of a thick glaciar calving icebergs into a lake should make Calafate worth the stop.  You have to stop here anyway if you're flying from Bariloche to Ushuaia so you might as well get off the plane.

Day 18-20: Ushuaia.  At 54 degrees south this is the southernmost city it the world (comparable to Edmonton, Alberta or Manchester, England).Go hiking in the Tierra del Fuego National Park.  Take the all-day Rumbo Sur cruise that visits the sea lions, penguins, and Harberton ranch.  Enjoy the snow-covered mountains behind the city.  Be prepared for cold temperatures, at least a bit of rain most days, and some wind.  A typical mid-summer temperature here is 12C.  Warning:  Ushuaia is a bit like Alaska in hospitality as well as scenery.  People move here because they don't really like other people... then they get jobs in hotels and restaurants.  On average the welcome you receive in Ushuaia is better than in most parts of the U.S. but the quality of services and friendliness is lower than in the rest of Argentina.

Day 21:  You can get a direct flight from Ushuaia to Ezeiza (EZE).  Hang out at the airport Internet cafe and write to your friends about what a fun trip you had.  Then catch an overnight flight to NY (10+ hours) or Miami (8 hours).  The First Class seats on the American Airlines 777s to Miami fold completely flat for sleeping.

For the next trip....

• take the ferry to Colonia, Uruguay (tiny colonial town) or Montevideo, Uruguay (the capital)
• visit the northwestern provinces, which have more colonial and Indian influence
• tour the wine country of Mendoza and then head through a pass in the Andes to Santiago, Chile

Trip to Argentina from December 10-31

Trip to Argentina from December 10-31 01/07/2004 04:18 PM

I decided to push back the round-the-world trip and instead spend December in Argentina.  My flights into and out of Buenos Aires are fairly fixed but everything else is open and I would appreciate suggestions.  Here's the plan so far...

Dec 10:  leave Boston.
Dec 11:  arrive Buenos Aires at 10:07 am
Dec 12,13: sightseeing B.A.
Dec 14:  Sunday trip to Colonia, Uruguay via ferry
Dec 15:  leave B.A. for Iguazu Falls, stay at fancy Sheraton with view
of falls?
Dec 17:  fly from Iguazu Falls to Bariloche (Lake District), rent car
Dec 25:  fly to Ushuaia (the southernmost town in Argentina), take a few tours
Dec 31:  fly from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires in time to catch 10:55 pm
flight to Miami

Thoughts?

Things that I did in Argentina for the
first time 01/07/2004 03:35 PM

Watched fireworks in 15 towns at the same time, from Flight Level 330 (approx 33,000'), over northern Argentina and western Paraguay (New Year's Eve, American Airlines 908 from B.A. to Miami).

Stood at the top of the world's most powerful waterfall, Iguazu, where the Parana, a river second only to the Amazon in volume, drops nearly 100 meters.

Ate dinner at 10:30 pm at an outdoor cafe and watched families arrive, with their young children, after I had sat down (very comfortable T-shirt temperatures in December evenings in Buenos Aires).

Walked to Chile from the Tierra del Fuego National Park, just west of Ushuaia.

Took a ferry boat across the Rio De La Plata, world's widest river, to Colonia, Uruguay.

Observed Rockhopper and Gentoo penguins and the Southern Sea Lion from a luxury catamaran in the Beagle Channel.

Received a friendly welcome from all of the staff at a $7/night hotel in Bariloche (northern Patagonia).

Got two bent wheels repaired with a sledgehammer on Christmas Eve and put back on the comically tiny Hertz rental car for US$6 in Tolhuin, Tierra del Fuego.

Took a flying lesson in a Piper Archer in a region of the world where it isn't legal to fly unless you speak Spanish or have an interpreter in the airplane (over mountain passes in Tierra del Fuego and low over a lighthouse and sea lion and penguin colonies).

Saw a Chevy Chevette 5-door hatchback, circa 1976, in excellent condition with a Bush/Cheney '04 bumper sticker on the back (Northwest Washington DC, near my cousin Donna's house).
