Before listing some of my favorites, I wanted to share with you these everyday sensations, those that make me feel so good in Argentina and Chile. I think, and I hope, that you’ll be able to perceive or feel a little of these different moments during your trip.
In particular:
- This feeling of freedom. Yes, here I feel “simply” free. First of all because there is space and wide open spaces, and more things are allowed. The general atmosphere is more “cool”.
- Drink mate with friends. Sharing a mate is a moment that I really like. A special moment where time stops a little, the opportunity to talk about everything and nothing, to exchange, to laugh, to remember…
- Enjoy Argentine meat! I’m not an avid carnivore, but I must admit that the meats here are succulent and we don’t joke with the portions!! “El Ojo de bife” is my favorite piece, I recommend it; also the “cordero”, a lamb grilled in the estancias, which is generally a real treat!
- Recharge one’s batteries and meditate. There are so many landscapes that offer this possibility. Being at the edge of a lake, surrounded by primary forests, facing a volcano or a mountain range, often alone or almost, and contemplating this beautiful, pure nature; it’s the most beautiful therapy that exists to recharge your batteries, to approach a meditative state.
- Go on the road. Driving here’s relaxing. Long straight lines, little traffic, feeling free while driving. A little background music, heading to a new destination, new surprises and encounters awaiting me!
- Talking about football. I wasn’t a football fanatic, but here I had no choice. Since this is the very important topic of discussion here, I like to listen and tease my friends about this topic. They always react quickly!
- Take advantage of public holidays. I believe Argentina is the only country in the world that has so many public holidays! Also almost all professions have their dedicated day. It’s incredible!
