I love exploring places on my own and I try to avoid group tours. But the area surrounding Salta is huge and has a ton to see and renting a car was just not something I wanted to do. I booked a day tour through a company called Argentina4u. The description of the tour does…

Just a girl traveling the world one day at a time.
It takes two to Tango
Argentina is known for quite a few things and one of them is the Tango! Rather you are walking down Florida Street, browsing the Sunday Market in San Telmo, touring La Boca or seeing a show, Tango is everywhere. We chose to have dinner and see a show at Cafe de Los Angelitos. Dinner was…
The best meal I have eaten in Argentina
Part of traveling is eating and discovering new restaurants. On a backpackers budget, those restaurants aren’t always within reach. However, when your parents come to visit, it is time to get a little spoiled. My step dad read about iLatina somewhere and had sent me the link a while back. I would have treated myself…
Uruguay for the day
I took my parents over to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay for the day from Buenos Aires. We booked through SeaCat Colonia because it is the same ferry as Buquebus for way less money. Apparently Buquebus bought SeaCat but still has both names. Upon arriving to Colonia we looked at taking the hop on hop…
Pretending to be a local in São Paulo
São Paulo can be a very overwhelming place for a backpacker since it is the largest city in South America and the 9th largest city in the world. I met some people when I was volunteering at a hostel in Rome and instantly bonded with them. Lucky for me, they live in São Paulo. I…
Maresias vs Floripa
There are amazing beaches all along the coast of Brazil. Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world so you can imagine that spending a month in the country is not nearly enough to cover it. However, I went to two different beaches in two different states and enjoyed them both. First I went…
Down at the Copa, Copacabana
What is New Years Eve all about?? Celebration? Time with friends and family and loved ones? Finding that one person to be your midnight kiss? Not when you celebrate at Copacabana Beach in Rio! The tradition for NYE in Rio and in Brazil includes dressing in all white to purge all the bad from the…
Cristo Redentor and Escadaria Selaron
When most people think of Rio de Janeiro they think of Copacabana Beach and Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor). This statue overlooks the city and can be seen day or night. To say I am not the most religious of people is putting it lightly, but this is one of the New 7 Wonders of the…
Hiking through Rio
Traveling allows you to meet people from all around the world. I was lucky enough to have met a woman in Rome who lives in Rio. Obviously when I decided to come to Rio I contacted her right away. She planned a day of walking and hiking for us as a way to explore Rio…
Pure bliss at Iguazu Falls
Iguazu Falls is considered one of the New 7 wonders of Nature. Needless to say, if you are anywhere near the falls, you have to go! On the way to the falls, we stopped at a point where you could see Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. As a United States Citizen a visa is required for…
