What travel advice would you give to someone travelling in South America for a month in a months time?
June 8, 2010
We are going on holiday and trying to work out the best spots in July. Peru is definitely on the adgenda, but we are interested in other recommended destinations and general travel tips.
Go to Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can’t miss it. I visited the city with some friends last July and it was just amazing. In a month you’ll get to see/do so much! The food is absolutely incredible there (they are well-known for their steaks and parrilladas). The culture is so rich: of course, they have the tango. You can catch tango shows in the streets in downtown sometimes. They also have more excluvise tango shows in theatres. Some restaurants in Puerto Madero (Buenos Aires) offer free tango lessons!
The city’s architecture is classical/prehispanic with a mix of modern in the Puerto Madero area. People are generally friendly (not all of them of course, but for the most part).
If you are a sports fan, can’t miss the Boca stadium or the River Plate Stadium. The Boca is home to a very special soccer hall of fame, famous particularly because of Maradona and FIFA’s current No.1 soccer player in the world – Lionel Messi.
You can travel to the surroundings of the city – it is very easy to travel around the city: whether it be by bus, taxi or even walking.
Hope this works for you. Good luck in your trip!
