Attack of the Satanic Satsuma
This is a top pick! Although the title of this entry is envocative of 70s B-movie featuring a giant citric monster lumbering over distant hills juicing people with its deadly rind, the story actually begins several weeks ago, with small, cute and harmless caramelitos. These ...
Stopping by Wet Beaver Creek on my way to Hell.
This is a top pick! So I finally got out of Mendoza and made it to Tucumán then. Although I am not exactly sure why I am here. Tucumán turns out to be another big city (population 470.000 or so), and I didn't really know it. Maybe I came here to break up the 18 hours bus ...

A few thoughts
... is really rediculous. I think that letters will go through okay, but I don't know since I haven't gotten any! Suprises in Argentina: 1. The amount of globalization. There is a McDonalds here, and a Wallmart in Buenos Aires, ugh. I guess that the ...
Karaoke mayhem
... a long morning crossing the vast semi-desert known as the Chaco. It is often thought of as the real heartland of Argentina, where most of the folk music originates, and where traditional customs are still strictly observed such as the siesta which has ...
No hitchhiking possible so off to town

At the estancia
This estancia is simply the greatest. Since it´s a small time operation, there´s just the staff, the new group of five that arrived yesterday, and me. How nice! The ranch grounds also serve as the horse pasture. The ...

Départ vers San Miguel de Tucúman
Le bus n'est pas très confortable, la route fait des lacets dans les montagnes pendant plus de 2 heures et m'empêche de lire. Je suis content d'arriver avec 1 heure d'avance. Je trouve un bus qui part immédiatement vers Córdoba et saute dedans. ...
Taxi-drivers in Tucaman make tuk-tuks look tame
Just overnighted here enroute to Taffi. Amazing central square with some great architecture (alit at night) and good ice-cream (as throughout Argentina it seems...never eaten so much ice-cream in my ...
Skip it!
We flew from Buenos Aires to San Miguel de Tucuman yesterday. We realized that we need to start taking more flights if we want to ge to Central America. This continent here is BIG and the roads are SLOW when you are travelling through the countr side. ...

Tucuman and Tafi
... so far anyway!). As soon as I stepped out of the bus station it was very obvious that Tucuman was much smaller than anywhere else I'd been in Argentina and that they don't get so many tourists - I was definitely an oddity and got quite ...
De Termas de Río Hondo a San Miguel del Tucumán
