Argentina: Mendoza & Buenos Aires
My last destinations in Argentina were Mendoza and Buenos Aires. These were definitely my favourite cities in the country! In Mendoza I met the nicest people in one of my favourite hostels. As usual, I started my first day with a free walking tour. In the evening, I went to my first South-American football game, which was a lot of fun!
The next days, I spent quite some time with the people from the hostel and did a wine tasting. For me, it was definitely one of the highlights of Argentina! I just love a good Argentinian malbec wine and really missed drinking wine.
Buenos Aires was one of the cities I was really excited to visit. And it did not disappoint! I spent two weeks here, which made me feel like I was a local. The Argentinians really stole my heart, everyone is so friendly! This was also the city (and country) which reminded me of Europe. Buenos Aires is -for me at least- a mix of Paris, Madrid and Barcelona. I also took my first tango class, which I enjoyed a lot!
After a few days in Buenos Aires, I took a night bus to Puerto Iguazu from where I could visit the Iguazu Falls. When I arrived, I visited the Brazilian side of the falls first. I was so impressed by how giant the waterfalls are. You could come very close to the water and experience the power of the water running. The next day, it was time for the Argentinian side. This was even prettier in my opinion. It was a very sunny day and I was just mesmerised with everything I saw. Afterwards I went back to Buenos Aires to spend some more days here, before I headed back to Cusco (Peru)!
I loved my time in Argentina and will definitely come back to go to Patagonia!
