Argentina

Mendoza Wine Tours: Experience the Bespoke Argentina Wine Tours & Tasting You must have heard of Mendoza, Argentina, widely known as a cosmopolitan city. The city is also popular for its tree-lined streets, sunny climate, Malbec wine and top-class restaurants as well as spas. Thinking for Mendoza wine tours? Get ready now! Because wine tours can give you such things that other normal tours can’t. Needless to say, wine tours are educational experiences. Besides tasting wine, visiting vineyards and walk the rows of the season's harvests, you will have an opportunity to enjoy staying in luxury hotels, enjoying delicious food and lot more. After returning from the vineyard, you can head inside to visit the production area of the winery, though it depends on your tour operator. Choose Mendoza Wine Tours Culminate Wine Tasting If you have already talked to wine tour operators then you must have known that a wine tour can last anywhere from an afternoon to 2 weeks. Some tour operators arrange cars, limos and vans — others arrange bikes and even kayaks as per their visitor’s choice. If you like golf and cooking, then you will be amazed to know that some vacationers even squeeze in a game of golf and/or a cooking class between the tours. The best thing is – most wineries are open to the public throughout the year. Whether you stay within driving distance, you can take a car and spend the afternoon touring the vineyards and come to hotel where you stay that evening with a new addition for your wine cellar. Suppose you are in a mood for a vacation, you can tour multiple wineries every day. It’s your choice for sure. What to Expect on Mendoza Wine Tours? There are two ways to take part in a wine tour in Argentina. First, you can plan an itinerary on your own, using a map and taking help from the Internet. Second, you can enlist the guidance of a reliable wine tour operator, like Tango Tours that plan Mendoza wine tours. If you have never been on a wine tour before, you might like one planned by Tango tours, a professional food and wine tour company. If you are touring on your own, then the costs are minimal because wineries don’t charge anything for the wine tour and sometimes give a sample of wines for free. Sometimes, there is a small charge to cover the cost of sampling that actually varies from winery to winery. But if you want to taste a specialty wine, for example, ice wine, then expect an additional charge. Mendoza is one of the Argentina’s most popular wine regions. You will see the vineyards that are truly historic, along with those that are on the cutting edge of wine-making. Besides, you will have delicious meals and local excursions round out your 5-day on your Mendoza wine tours with Tango Tours. Finishing Lines When you choose Tango Tours for experiencing Mendoza wine tours, rest assured you have choose the best wine tour operator. You will say only in 5-star luxury hotel. Along with your wine tour, you will experience the Buenos Aires, a city that simply must be seen in person. You will surely feel the energy pulses from every corner in every neighbourhood. In your 4-day visit in the capital of Argentina, you will see and feel the vibrancy of the hues, food, music and friendly-people that make this one of the best Mendoza wine tours experience in your memory.

Learn about Argentine steak and why locals say it is the best in the world. Address 4691 Guatemala and Gurruchaga Buenos Aires In Argentina, the country with the highest per capita meat consumption in the world, you can expect to find a great steak. Good climate, open spaces and clean water are some of the reasons that Argentina has the best beef in the world. And parillas, or steakhouses, like this are not hard to find. "Why is Argentine meat the best meat in the world?" "It would be for the class of cow that we have, the countryside, the way it is raised. The most popular cuts are the "vacio," the "bife de chorizo," and the "lomo." "Can you tell us a little bit about the typical condiment of Argentina, the "chimi-churri?" "The chimi-churri sauce does not have a lot of spices, I make it by hand. It has ground up pepper, black pepper, parsley, oil and vinegar. The tourists love chimi-churri, they order a steak and cover it with it. The Argentines use it more with sausage." Nowhere else but Argentina will you find a steak this juicy and tender, and big. "This is "chorizo" (sausage) that is ground up beef and pork with spices. This is made with blood and meat, but very little meat." I am Gigi Sehr showing you Buenos Aires.

El Ateneo Bookstore - Buenos Aires, Argentina Travel Guide One of the grandest bookstores of the world. Location Recoleta neighborhood Address Santa Fe 1865 Recoleta Phone/Contact Info +54 11 4811 6104 I bet your neighborhood bookstore does not look anything like the one I am about to show you. This is El Ateneo, a massive bookstore located on Avenida, Santa Fe. What is unique about this bookstore is that it occupies a former theater. This magnificent building was called the Grand Splended Theater, it was built in the early nineteen hundreds. Many famous tango singers performed here, and the first movie theater with sound in Buenos Aires was here. In December 2000, the theater was converted into El Ateneo bookstore. This building was declared the cultural Patromonia Buenos Aires and it still conserves it grand ambiance. In the dome there is a mirror by Orlandi which celebrates the end of the first world war. The majority of the books are in Spanish, but there is an English session with popular novels and classical works, as well as, many English books scattered through out the bookstore. Our books can be enjoyed in any language. On the second floor you can find classical and jazz music, and down at the basement you can find popular music and children's books. If you want to sit and read here, you could come to the cafe which used to be the stage or sit at one of the balconies. There are several El Ateneo bookstores, this one is located in the Grand Theater on Avenue da Santa Fe. I am Veronica de Aboitiz showing you Buenos Aires.

Get my Free eBooks now! http://coolifedesign.com/get-my-free-ebooks-now/ Miss Argentina (Antonella Kruger) speaking about mistakes men make with women - we spontaneously decided to record it during the trip to Buenos Aires. ======================================= Double Your Confidence & Self Esteem https://www.udemy.com/double-your-confidence-self-esteem/?couponCode=YT50VIP#/ ======================================= Get Your Dream Job https://www.udemy.com/get-your-dream-job-blueprint-for-winning-any-job-interview/?couponCode=YTVIP14#/ http://www.globalbeauties.com/blog/2011/04/miss-world-argentina-2011-is-antonella-kruger/comment-page-2/ In her opinion the biggest mistake is calling a girl too often. Guys are more desirable when they are less available. If you are available 24/7 you lose the attraction. Also, it is not good to see each other every single day. She also mentions that guys shouldn't speak about a certain topic just because they want to sound interesting. Instead, they should discuss things they know and are passionate about.

These 10 things to do in Buenos Aires are budget friendly activities for every kind of traveler - don't matter if you are a backpacker, business traveler or on a family vacation. Enjoy Argentinas capital as best as possible with this Travel Video Guide by getting to know the history, the culture and of course the food - if you take it easy this list can keep you busy for a whole week. --- Things to do in Buenos Aires, Argentina --- 1) free walking tour (innercity & main sights) I discovered Demasiado tours through Couchsurfing and recommendations from friends I met at different CouchSurfing meetings in Buenos Aires. more info: Demasiado Tours, (http://www.facebook.com/DemasiadoTours) 2) Recoleta neighborhood & cemetery This "barrio" is one of the fancy onces, close to the city center -- great architecture, nice parks and one of the most popular cemeteries in town with impressive graves of notable people like "Evita". I did a free tour here as well to get a quick overview before walking around on my own. more info: Recoleta free walking tour - Buena Onda Free Tour (http://buenaondafreetour.blogspot.com.ar/) La Recoleta Cemetery - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Recoleta_Cemetery 3) Buenos Aires Street Art Tours Matt became a good friend of mine and runs unique graffiti toursfollow providing loads of information about the murals, the artists and the Street Art Scene in general -- a great way for people who are new to Street Art to dive into this interesting culture! more info: Buenos Aires Street Art Tours (#3): BA Street Art Tours, (http://buenosairesstreetart.com/) - also a great Blog about Streetart and Graffiti in general! 4) Ice Cream, Helado, Gelato -- mmmh! The amount of people who immigrated from Italy to Buenos Aires and Argentina in general is very high -- therefore you can find loads of great Ice Cream Parlours here. Beside the big chains like "Freddo" you should go for some family owned businesses -- ask the locals as they know best where to go! more info: Top 5 Ice Cream Parlours (#4): http://www.argentinaindependent.com/life-style/food-drink/top-5-ice-cream-parlours/ 5) Discover Buenos Aires by Bike Time to do something active: grab a bike and cycle around the city (like I did in Berlin)! Since 2 years the city provides a decent network of bicycle routes & most of the hostels offer a bike rental service. This is a great way to get to know Puerto Madero as there is no Subte (Metro) station close to it. more info: Biking in Buenos Aires (#5): article by BBC http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20110906-biking-in-buenos-aires-picks-up-speed 6) Parks After all these activities it's time for a break! Luckily you can find a decent amount of green areas all around the city. My favourite one has been "Bosques de Palermo" more info: Top 5 Buenos Aires Parks (#6): http://www.argentinaindependent.com/life-style/thecity/top-5-buenos-aires-parks/ 7) Tango Tango was born in San Telmo and there is an option to watch it for free at the sundays open-air market. 8) San Telmo Market / Sunday fair The best day to visit the oldest barrio of Buenos Aires, San Telmo, is possibly on Sundays where you can stroll along the antique-market. Though it is very touristy it is a good place to get some nice souvenirs. more info: San Telmo (#8): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Telmo,_Buenos_Aires 9) Steak & Malbec Wine There is no visit to Argentina without having a great steak sided by some of the best wines you can find! Beside having an Asado with friends, the restaurant "Las Cabras" is a very good and budget friendly option which is quite popular by locals, too! more info: Steak Restaurant (#9): "Las Cabras" - cheap, tasty and popular amongst locals (https://plus.google.com/117924893443756325463/about?gl=de&hl=en) 10) Party & Nightlife Buenos Aires is exhausting as you can party there every night ;) Around the neighborhood Palermo you can find a high density of Bars and Clubs. more info: "A guide to Buenos Aires nightlife from a seasoned professional" (http://matadornetwork.com/nights/a-guide-to-buenos-aires-nightlife-from-a-seasoned-professional/) Enjoy your stay! === Check out my Blog for more free tips about Argentina and South America!

Tourist2townie.com Presents "How to Survive a Futbol Match in Buenos Aires, Argentina". http://www.tourist2townie.com/ On December 6, 2009 some friends and I went to the futbol match, River vs. Velez in the Apertura 2009. It was everything I dreamed a futbol match to be like in South America and a whole lot more. Velez defeated River 3 to 1. Velez Sarsfield ended up 3rd in the division while the mighty River Plate finished near the bottom. Pardon the shaky video, we tried to get as much footage as possible without getting called out by the Velez Fanatics!

What you need to know for riding local train in Buenos Aires. The cheapest, easiest way to get around in Buenos Aires is the subway, or subte in Spanish. The underground system is run by Metrovias. It is the oldest subway in all the Spanish speaking world. You might even see an old wooden car running. The subway here has five lines: A, B, C, D, and E. Line D is a great line for visitors. The subway starts here in Plaza de Mayo, and carries you to most destinations, one including Teatro Colon, here. So now that you have reached your subway stop, go into the counter, purchase your ticket. In return, receive a card like this with a magnetic strip. Make sure you are on the right side of the platform, and there comes our train. If you take a look around you, you will notice that the entire train is made of wood. It is like you have gone into a time machine. Well, so here we are. That was pretty easy, and we have avoided all the traffic up above. If you choose to use taxis, the prices are relatively cheaper when compared to other cities. I am Kristina Renee, showing you Buenos Aires.

Walk through Cafe Tortoni, the historic and perhaps the most famous cafe of Buenos Aires. Website www.cafetortoni.com.ar Address Avenida de Mayo 825 Phone/Contact Info +54 11 4342 4328 [email protected] Cafe Tortoni, it is probably the most favorite cafe in Buenos Aires. Located just steps away from Plaza Le Mancia, it is popular with tourists and coperanians. Cafe Tortoni was found in 1858 and named after a famous cafe in France, if you look carefully. Many of the tables in the cafe have plucks that are dedicated to famous writers that actually wrote on those tables. "I am Roberto Fanego, Manager of Cafe Tortoni. I have been here half a century. I lived the history of this Cafe. The works of art that part of the Cafe's history were all gifts from the writers and painters". Cafe Tortoni was popular with intellectuals, politician and tango singers. This is Nobel price winning author Balkin Borges, then we have famous tango singer, Carlos Gardel and an Argentinian poet called Alfonsina Storni. "We have a photo of Borges speaking here and you can see me there listening. I still had hair back then. I enjoyed the company of the poets, musicians, and writers. I got to hear them speak". Right now, I am in what used to be the barber shop of the cafe. Now, it is a museum. The walls are covered with art work and photographs relating the history of the cafe. At night Cafe Tortoni holds jazz and tango shows at the small theater at the back of the cafe. In the past famous tango Ochesteras played in that balcony. Here we have some hot chocolate made with a bar of real chocolate and the churros, which are an Argentinian delicacy, it is a pastry. If the hot chocolate was not enough for you, do not forget the chocolate cake. Here is an interesting fact, the first legislative session held in Buenos Aires, was here in Cafe Tortoni in nineteen ninety seven. So, here we have a traditional Argentinian plate, it is called picada and it is full of olives, cheese, salami, ham, pickles and the cherries and it comes with cider or beer. Right now I have a cider, which is a great other option instead of beer. You could find this in any Argentinian restaurant but it is usually not so beautifully designed. I am Veronica de Aboitiz showing you Buenos Aires.

Together with Claudio, a real Rosariño, I show you things to do in Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina). Claudio, who was also my spanish teacher tells a bit about the history and the culture of the city - you'll see it's not only about beautiful women! Moreover it is also the first episode in spanish (subtitles are provided for this part) as I improved my spanish in Rosario supported by the school of Claudio & Stephanie. ---What is so special about Rosario? --- Rosario is part of the Santa Fé region and surprised me a lot, I guess fell in love with this little gem on the Paraña River. "In Rosario you'll find the most attractive women in Argentina!" This is what you come to hear from argentineans if you speak about your intention to visit this city. During my stay I realized that the city itself is a real beauty queen ;) --- Why have I been there? --- I came to take a break from travelling, to improve my spanish skills and to relax. This place was perfect for that and really enjoyed living in Rosario for more than 1,5 months. This student city is a great place to be as it offers all amenities of a big city but isn't that hustling and bustling like for example B.A.: if you stay in the 'microcentro' you can walk or bike everywhere, you have great parks to relax and on the weekends you can party hard in one of the numerous clubs. And of course: you can meet beautiful people :) --- Topics covered by this video --- Is it important to learn spanish if you're traveling to Argentina? Which famous revolutionist was born in Rosario? Why is Rosario so popular by young people? What about things to do in Rosario? - All these questions will be answered in this episode! I hope you enjoy this "Travel Video Blog" episode from Argentina (which comes with some Bloopers at the end) and keep following for the next Travel Video. Ah...and please feel free to share, embedd & tell your friends ;) === LINKS === Photo Essay on my Blog: http://www.back-packer.org/rosario-an-argentinean-beauty-in-33-pictures/ Language School & Tour: Spanish in Rosario (www.spanishinrosario.com) Music: Aries 4Rce BeatZ (http://www.youtube.com/aries4rce) #HolaGringo is supported by: Hostelbookers: http://www.hostelbookers.com Traveldudes: http://www.traveldudes.org Follow me: http://www.back-packer.org http://www.twitter.com/BackPackerSteve http://www.facebook.com/BackPackerBlog

Ice Cream Options - Buenos Aires, Argentina Travel Guide Learn why Buenos Aires is said to have the world's best ice cream. So why is ice cream in Buenos Aires so good? First of all, it is the Argentinian milk. Second of all, there is dulce de leche, which is similar to caramel, and a national favorite. It adds a great flavor to the ice cream. "Ice cream in Buenos Aires is the best in the world because it is made with really high quality milk, and also, the Italian immigrants brought their tradition of making gelato to Buenos Aires. That is why it is so good, and there are so many really unusual flavors like rum flavored ice cream and different types of creams. It is really good". "I am eating coffee ice cream, and I picked the coffee flavor because Buenos Aires makes amazing coffee. I try and eat ice cream every time I can. There are thousands of different flavors, I usually get to pick two. They always make it so elegant in the cone. The whole experience just makes you happy. Sometimes if I am at home, I even order it in. They deliver it right to your house. I think the ice cream here is probably some of the best in the world". You should know how to order at these ice cream shops. First you choose the size cone you would like. Then you pay for it, then wait to be called. Then, tell the person behind the counter what flavor you would like. "I want one worth 5 pesos". Some of these shops are open well past midnight, and they even deliver. I am Gigi Sehr, showing you Buenos Aires.

See the exclusive behind the scenes footage where Les talks about the troubles of shooting by himself in the wilderness. No food, no shelter, no fresh water, no tools... no camera crew. One man alone in the wild embarks on a 7-day adventure with only his wits and stamina to sustain him. Each episode finds filmmaker and survival expert Les Stroud abandoned in a remote location with little more than the clothes on his back. Les tests the limits of his own survival skills, and sometimes those of his son Logan. __ Subscribe to Travel and Escape on YouTube: http://bit.ly/16YExY3 Your Adventure Starts Here: http://travelandescape.ca/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/travelandescape/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TravelAndEscapeTV Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/travelandescape/

Italian restaurant known for pastas and pizzas. Address San Martín 975 Ciudad de Buenos Aires Phone/Contact Info +54 11 4311-0312 Timings/Hours 12 pm until late night Other Information Reservations at Filo recommended for dinner Pizza always available In the nieghborhood of Raytito, just steps away from Porta Maraydo, you can find this resturant Filo. Opened in 1994, it was one of the first resturants in Buenos Aires to offer authentic Italian cusine. "The name Filo was chosen by one of the founders. It was accepted because in Venice "Filo" means to rest from work. So, what are we doing tonight? Let's go to Maria's to do "Filo", let's go to Jose's to do "Filo"." The decorations are influenced by famous modern artist. "The are shown in Filo is very good. It is what makes the place what it is. Informal, but also elegant." "We wanted to do something different, we wanted to cook not only Italian food but Venetian Italian food. We are Italians from Venice, and we have tried to trasmit this philosophy." Its specialities are pizzas from a wood burning oven and pastas. This pizza just came out of the oven and it is called Lyksotika. We have a cheese and tomatoe base. Yellow, red and green pepper as well as heart of tong. This dish is called pasta la boozara and it has shrimp, a tomatoe and parsley sauce and it is delicious spegetti. "I am very conservative, I love pastas. And here the pastas are the specialty of the house. The prices are very reasonable for downtown and the service is great." Because this is Argentina no resturant would be complete without a beef plate. However, in Filo the beef is cooked in the European style. The beef is completed in a pan and the potatoes are boiled in milk before being mashed. Filo's opens from noon until the last person leaves late at night. Pizza and pinaenae are always available. "We are chosen by people who work in downtown for lunch as well as tourists. I will say goodbye to you with a drink called a "spritz" which is from the North of Italy. It has white wine, flavoring and soda water. Cheers! To good times." I am Veronica De Aboitiz, showing you Buenos Aires.
