Word of advice: travel low season. Less people, still great weather, and everything is all -around cheaper. We've covered 3 big cities in 3 provinces (with a break in small-town Cafayate) and it's up north from here. National Park Nahuel Huapi of Bariloche was just as beautiful once entered as it is from the steep, cliff-like views of the road winding around Lago Nahuel Huapi. You really appreciate the low season when you find yourself hiking and making c...

As expected, our time in Cholitown disappeared with the blink of an eye. Next thing we knew, San Carlos de Bariloche was welcoming us with open arms and lots upon lots of chocolate. But our mere 2 weeks back on the farm only helped reinforce our love for Cholila, a simple pueblo with a buena onda. Our two weeks were full of especially fun adventures (Laura didn't have to work alll of Easter week), including a headlamp rave party or two. While Sarge and Dario fi...

Alas! (Sarge claims that this is a negative term, but in my book it means "great heavens!"- so read it that way) We've made it to the end of the world! Currently located in Ushuaia, we're a mere 3 blocks away from the Beagle Channel, sunken ships, and the legacy of Darwin. Not the prettiest of all port cities (but we're biased graduates of the College of Charleston), Ushuaia is more of a city on which to ponder the history than rave about the quaint Magellanic ho...

The 20-hour bus ride to San Carlos de Bariloche flew by with reclinable "semi-camas" (half-beds) and front-row seats for Soul Surfer, which we "reluctantly" watched 2 times. There was also a very friendly staff that, no matter what, woke up both Sarge and I, drooling and dreaming, for each meal. (We rode with Via Bariloche- two thumbs up). S.C. de Bariloche was an amazing city with an even more incredible view of Chile right across the lake. A volcano e...

Our first adventure is coming to an end... Ciao, Buenos Aires! We've fallen in love with this city, but now it's time for a little more rugged. We're now headed to WWOOF in Cholila in the Chubut region. We'll be living with a young couple and helping out with their organic garden, building things, etc. Not exactly sure what type of work, but the guy asked if we knew how to work with machetes. We'll be tenting it for the month, but we can also stay, when ou...
