Waking up in a picture perfect location we are treated to a view that redefines the word, perfection never got so perfect. Orange tent flaps frame our vista of the silent racing river leading to the snow dappled mountain peak. It’s a common catch phrase really; room with a view, that is until you’re in […]
At the end of the world it’s time to have a little look and see what’s out there, out in the last reaches of where us humans are really meant to go. Strangely enough it’s not bitterly cold here, it’s summer of course but the temperate days bathed in sunshine are far more T-shirt weather […]
The mind wanders and sways to the breeze of unfamiliar thoughts, ideas and notions. The origins of the new are as difficult to pin down as any sense of conclusion, one thing that does seem a certainty though is that the end of the world is a place of space and eternity. We have tatty […]
Beunos Aires is indeed playing it’s part to resurrect the impression of urban life in Argentina, through our eyes at least. If travelling is a metaphor for life then life is an adventure, the passivity of comfortability is an option contra to the tatty corners of a passport. Buenos Aires is a huge city, 13 […]
Today we have a full day of donning the tourist caps and getting out and about, our to-do list is welcomely sparse leaving space for good old fashioned poking around. So it’s off to see the sights, soak up some atmosphere and surely get frustrated by the now comical Argentinian lack of efficiency and strong […]
We farewell Laf and Barnaby, we farewell La Constancia and we farewell Cordoba; all three have been very good to us. The liberal splash of luxury of La Constancia has been a breath of fresh air into the open window of hostel land and Cordoba province has rounded the picture of Argentina as we know […]
Today is the day, we finally get a crack at cooking. Argentina is loaded with massive open fire parrillas, pizza ovens and all manner of old fashioned cooking stations that belong to a time gone by yet inspire any modern cook to salivating excitement. At La Constancia there is yet another display of offensive cooking […]
With our few days at La Constancia planned out to take in as much as we could of what was on offer, one item on the menu was always going to be climbing Champaqui, pronounced chum-pa-kee. The relatively small range of mountains of Cordoba is where we are situated and Champaqui is the highest point […]
The soundtrack to this morning is that iconic Lou Reed song, perfect day, an old classic that never gets tired, with no tricks, bells or whistles, it’s timeless because it’s simply good. Jumping into this Argentinian ranch stay concept we’re flooded with a similar approach to our days; no tricks or games, just loaded with […]
A funny phenomenon can develop in the minds of travellers, a sort of limitation in the midst of a journey that is so much about removing bounds and barriers. With a limited amount of funds diligently scraped together over years of planning the world becomes ones oyster, we can go anywhere, see anything, experience all […]
