Argentina

One of us being of Argentinian origin, we do travel to Argentina regularly. Where we don’t necessarily have a structured plan, but where we do visit various places. Which I have recorded below.

There is a 2009 Dutch-language article of a trip to NW Argentina: “De Argentijnse Altiplano”.

The Locations

The many individual locations we have visited over the years can be accessed by clicking on the boxes at the bottom of this page.

And there is a short travelogue of a trip to Argentine Mesopotamia in 2022

The start of our epic Costa Pacifico journey of 2019 also has an Agentinian component to it. (The Argentinian towns are also included in the locations below)

There is also a list and some brief reviews of books on Argentina.
