We had an incredible week in Argentina with 2 days in Buenos aires and 4 days in peninsula de Valdés.
Mili greeted us at the airport with a nice big sign and standing where we could clearly see her, and a nice big smile! The welcome was everything we needed to start the week of on the right foot.
We were tired from the flight and mostly rested during the day, but in the evening went to a home hospitality dinner with Diego and Mariana where we sat and dined with 3 generations of the family for a warm and homey regular family dinner. They even noticed that it was the evening of the Jewish new year, and served apples and honey for dessert! I don't have enough words to describe how welcome we felt 💖!
The next morning Agostina took us all around Buenos Aires, her knowledge was deep and she had patience for all my questions! And in spite of the cold weather agreed to indulge me in a quick stop for my favorite ice cream!
We were given great tips for how to spend our afternoon. In the evening we had fun at the tango and dinner show.
The next morning we were off to peninsula de Valdés. At our hotel in Puerto piramides the front a desk at first couldn't find our reservation, and the emergency contact at say Hueque helped straighten everything out and the room was just beautiful, with an incredible beach view.
The weather caused a change in our plans for the navigation, and Say Hueque helped us move things around so that we still were able to explore the entire peninsula, as we had hoped.
For our last night, we drove to estancia el pedral at punta ninfa, south east of Puerto madryn. I simple do not have words to express what a wonderful day we had there. We want to go back, as one day was definitely not enough time at the beautiful estancia with the beautiful warm and attentive family and staff. We were greeted by Sebastian and Mateo, then had a delicious dinner prepared by chef pablo. Every one of my food limitations was taken into account while keeping ingredients local and absolutely delicious and impeccably presented. The next morning after breakfast mateo took us to see the penguin rookery and the view and lighthouse at the point. We were very sad to not be able to do more activities, but had to leave to catch a flight to return to buenos aires.
Overall an amazing week and we can't wait to return!

Puerto Piramides

The staff was extremely helpful. Melissa and Ignacio went out of their way to help us. The room was spectacular, with an ocean view. Everything worked well (importantly the heating and hot water!) and the breakfast was delicious.

Puerto Madryn

This estancia stay was one of the highlights of our trip! The family and staff are attentive to every detail. The food is delicious. The main building, room and property itself are beautiful. One day was not enough, but was all the time we had, and we are grateful to have had this, albeit short, experience. Note that the drive there is quite long and the dirt road is bad at spots, so be prepared. Well worth the effort!

Buenos Aires

The staff was great. Especially Pablo was helpful and really made us feel at ease. Note that there is no elevator, but the staff assisted with luggage. The room is a little dated, the safe took us a bit to figure out. I'm not sure we ever did completely understood all the modes of the A/C / heater unit. The breakfast was great, with a good variety, plenty of protein options as well as delicious local pastries, and a coffee bar. On the last day we had to leave early, and they made sure we could get food before leaving. I would have liked to get a map with a little more explanations of where exactly we were located, what local transportation is available nearby and what they recommend for the nearby services such as restaurants. (I did ask for a map and the only one they had did not include the location of the hotel)

My visit to Argentina went very smoothly thanks to excellent guides Emilia, Eugenia, and driver Sergio, I was taken all over Buenos Aires and El Tigre and to a barbecue and horse training exhibition at a ranch in the pampas.

The boat ride through the delta in El Tigre was very interesting and Eugenia found me the small gifts i was looking for at a chocolate shop and a small curio shop there. She seemed to know everybody. Also visited a silversmith studio where they treated her like family.

In Uruguay my guide and driver Fabian and Javier showed me around Colonia where I had arrived by ferry from BA, then drove me to Montevideo where guide Carolina showed me the city and a cafe where the waiter demonstrated how to drink mate and how to drink it from a mate bowl.

Carolina realized at one point that July 31st is the traditional graduation day for medical students in Uruguay. Montevideo throws a huge party for them in a park downtown. So we headed off there, just to see the happy students and their families arriving. It was an unplanned experience and a lot of fun.

Guides were always willing to change things around depending on what i wanted to see at a given moment. Since my interest is photographing people, they made a point of finding places with a lot of activity.

It all went like clockwork. And it only rained for a half hour right at the end of my trip.

Micaela from KimKim and Joaquina from Say Hueque were very helpful, supporting me with itinerary revisions even just a few days before the trip started.

​During the trip, the local operations provided outstanding service, especially during Torres del Paine. It was a wonderful, unique experience with a high-quality bus and knowledgeable guides. The locations we visited were distinct and offered a fresh perspective compared to standard itineraries from our country (Thailand).

​Additionally, the Mayo Spirit Trek was amazing and stood out as one of the true highlights of our journey in El Calafate.

​The duration was just right to cover everything on our wishlist, while still allowing us enough flexibility to take in each location without feeling rushed. Highly recommended.

It would be better to visit the broadwalk and skip the cave (last destination).

The tour guide was really friendly and knowledgable.

Bus was comfortable, but can be better as the size of the seat was not fit for westen people.

We had a great time in Buenos Aires and Bariloche. The experience was seamless, and all our local guides were great. Highly recommend working with KimKim and Paulo.

Rodrigo was my personal guide for three days. His historical knowledge of Argentina and Cordoba is outstanding. His presentation was professional and warmly personal to my curiosity. He made it feel like I cruising around with a new friend.
