Must-see destinations

Bariloche is a must-see destination, very popular for Argentines and all travelers who discover it! I mention San Carlos de Bariloche in the “My favorites” section as I love this region of Patagonia. Bariloche is a great introduction to a trip to Patagonia. The spaces are smaller than in the deep south, but much more varied! What surprises you first …

Buenos Aires is a cultural capital city with lots of parks. A trendy city where fashion meets nightlife. The great majority of Argentines is a melting pot of European immigrants who arrived through the “Rio de la Plata”. There are lots of phrases around this, one of my favorite is “Argentines are Italians who speak Spanish who think they are …

Here’s a place that I particularly like: Easter Island, there’s a lot to say about this mysterious and captivating island… Easter Island is probably the most isolated place in the world. It is located in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 km from Chile, the country on which it depends, and 4,000 km from Tahiti. The nearest land is Pitcairn, located 2,000 …

Iguazu Falls, a natural wonder located in the middle of the rainforest, shared by Argentina at 80% and Brazil at 20%. I’m not afraid to say it, these are truly the most beautiful falls in the world.

Mendoza is rich in a large number of museums and interesting sites. Although it cannot compete with Buenos Aires, it’s far from being devoid of charm and demonstrates great cultural dynamism. Mendoza, in the Cuyo region, is of course the capital of the Argentine vineyard, but it’s above all the province of the same name which is full of natural …

The Valdes Peninsula is another great classic of Patagonia, but I must admit that I never tire of returning there. Here everything is like Patagonia: disproportionate, immense, wild. Departing from Puerto Madryn, the Peninsula Valdes: a landmark of very abundant wildlife, it’s a true paradise for animals. The marine fauna is of course the best represented with among others dolphins, …

In the “Los Glaciares” national park, there’s the gigantic Argentino Lake, where you can admire the spectacular glaciers of Perito Moreno and Upsala. Traveling to Argentina without seeing the Perito Moreno Glacier is like going to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel Tower. Or to be clearer, not seeing this wonder that our planet offers us is missing the journey. …

Salta is undoubtedly the most beautiful city in the Northwest, which earned it the nickname Salta la Linda (“Salta the beautiful”).

Today the number of tourists in the streets …

Here are two very original and little visited sites: the parks of Ischigualasto and Talampaya.

These two exceptional tourist sites were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO on December 11, 2000. Ischigualasto National Park The Moon Valley, on the border …

This is a surprising region, I call it the “Argentine Pantanal”. Located in the center of the Province of Corrientes, the Iberá reserve, with an area of ​​1,300,000 hectares, is part of one of the richest and most pristine regions of Argentina and the world. Only surpassed in extension by the Brazilian Pantanal, the Iberá wetlands (“Esteros del Iberá”) form …

The “Torres del Paine” National Park is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the world. Located in the Southern Chilean Patagonia, in the province of “Última Esperanza”, the Magellan region. Things have changed a lot since I came to the Torres Del Paine National Park the very first time. Back in the days, to arrive into this park was …

How can we not talk about Ushuaia, which represents something so special, especially for the French! Some will be disappointed, others will literally fall under its spell. The geographical location is incredible and the place is absolutely beautiful.
