Exploring Argentina’s Food and Wine

April 16, 2016

It’s no secret that travel is my crack.  Few experiences can compete with setting foot in a new country, seeing how the people live, soaking up the culture, and—of course—eating and drinking everything in sight.  So imagine my excitement when my friend Sarai and I decided on Argentina for our girls’ trip this year.

This was basically my face the whole time.

So, without further ado, here are some highlights (a little heavily food/wine focused, because…well, duh) from Argentina.  I hope it gets you as excited to try and visit this amazing country as it did for me.

Our first taste of Argentina actually was a medialuna and kind of sad coffee hastily bought at the airport before jumping on a bus that took two hours to take us across the city to the domestic airport. It actually was pretty darn good, but then once we got to the airport we were STARVING. On the great advice of someone from the TripAdvisor forum, we eschewed the airport food and walked across the street to one of the food carts.

One hamburgesa and a grapefruit soda later, we were content to bask in the sunlight and watch old men fish while waiting to check in for our flight.  Our first stop was in Puerto Iguazu, where we spent the next day exploring the absolutely amazing Iguazu Falls (from the Argentinian side).
