Hello all,
I recently decided to take some time off and wanted to visit Argentina for the first time, arriving in Buenos Aires early March 3rd leaving March 11 or 12th either from Buenos Aires or from another city. I’ve done some research and for a relatively short 9 day trip I know I cant see everything Amazing Argentina has to offer, so I wanted to focus on one maybe TWO other locations besides Buenos Aires.
The difficulty for me is that there is so much to Argentina that I find incredible and naturally beautiful, I’m having a tough time choosing. I can either see Puerto Iguazu and the falls, and maybe a night or two in Mendoza and then leave from Mendoza, or I can focus on Buenos Aires and Patagonia, with Bariloche or El Calafate, or perhaps Buenos Aires and Salta.
I plan to use domestic flights to get to other cities, as I’m aware how huge Argentina is. Having never been to Argentina, I wanted to get recommendations on what to see for a first trip? Obviously I’ll have to come back at some point to see the rest. What’s a good are for this time period in terms of weather, and logistics given my 9 days? I don’t mind crowds that much.
As for personal interests I’m huge in to history, culture and gastronomy, but I also really would like to see the Andes, and enjoy alpine scenery as well as tropical. I love to trout fish and thought briefly about possibly doing some fishing, but probably don’t have the time
To do so given the short time frame and lack of car- id be relying on public transportation/ hired rides in town.
I realize preferences on what to see are subjective, but I would really appreciate any info, tips advice, or recommendations.
Thanks
