Bahia Blanca Hotels Reviews and Rates

Nice drive through the pampas

Ao sair de Buenos Aires, conduzimos mais de 600km pela Ruta 3, cruzando o belo pampa argentino, ate a cidade portuária de Bahia Blanca. Assim como no Uruguai, nos deliciamos com a paisagem na beira da estrada, principalmente na hora do entardecer quando os campos ficam dourados e tornam a paisagem cinematográfica. Destaque também para as várias …

On the road to.....

So at last we are on the open road, the scenery is beautiful, vast green open spaces for miles and miles, lots of horses and cows, unfortunately a definite lack of good looking cowboys, but there is still time. We have about 600 km to drive today, it is very easy driving just overtaking the few 100 lorries on the road, but the roads are dead …

Ushuaia Trip into Andes Mountains and Lakes

My second day in Ushuaia was great. Woke up in the morning to the Andes mountains covered in snow. All the rain the day before had more than dusted the mountaintops which made the city look very pretty. The big all day activity was a 4 wheel drive trip into the Andes mountains where we got to leave town and see some of the countryside and the lakes …

Estancia El Venado - The Pampas

Three days of relaxation in a working ranch in the Pampas - couldn't wait. Not that I'd exactly been worn out with my visit to Sao Paulo but I was just feeling a bit tired. I could feel it was coming to the time when I needed to get back to my own bed. Not that I didn't enjoy the random sleeping arrangements of the past 3 months but I had begun to …

The busiest month of my life in a few paragraphs

So it´s been about a month since I last wrote anything!! So not too many details this time!! I last wrote when I was two weeks into staying in Buenos Aires- after that everything got much better, I joined Expanish School, where there were many more people and I started really living the Buenos Aires lifestyle, going out every night to restaurants …

Day 3. Drake Passage

We woke at 2am in Drake Passage. The ship was pitching and tossing and rolling from side to side. Drake Passage is the body of water from Cape Horn to the Antarctic Peninsula. Known to be the roughest body of ocean in the world, it is a deep waterway, 600 miles wide, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. We forced ourselves to get out of bed …

Ice Ice Baby..!!

Down to the Glacier to see what old Poreto, the joyous traveller who liked a wee dram now and again, managed to have named after him..!! and then a nice chill after, listening to the House of Bamboo....I'm telling you, when you're Blue, go to the House of Bamboo..!! eh Macca …

Tango-ing around Buenos Aires

After a slightly painful plane ride (thanks to the previous day's horse-riding antics), we arrived safely in Buenos Aires to blue, sunny skies. We picked a hostel in San Telmo, the oldest neighbourhood of Buenos Aires characterised by pretty balconies, streetside cafes, tango parlours and antiques markets. We dumped our bags and found a lovely cafe …

Gladly leaving Bahia Blanca

So... not much to say about where we are, only about where we are going. Bahia Blanca is a bitter-sweet place for me for many reasons, and I have only been here for a few days. However, I cannot wait to leave to Carmens de Patagones/Viedma tonight at 7pm. These cities are supposedly much more beautiful and relaxing than where we currently find …

Long Weekend

We had a holiday this weekend and in Argentina, if the holiday falls on the weekend, they recognize it on the following weekday. Yesterday(Sunday) was el dia del San Martin but we had today off:) I love it haha.--See bottom of entry to read a brief history of San Martin-- My buddies and I were debating if we were going to go to Mendoza, Cordoba, or …
