Argentina

I am thinking that for every country we add, we should have someone to be the kind of cheerleader. Someone who can start populating the travel guide, let people know about it etc...

Lucas Freely, Podborski, Portena know far more about Argentina than I ever will. But I am enthusiastic about the country and will certainly return. I am not shy about posting my limited experiences.

This is clearly your site and you have picked Bolivia, India and Colombia since they fulfill your ideals of poorbuthappy. And I assume Travelicious is a catch-all since many great countries either don't meet these criteria (rich, miserable) or are simply not well known to you (and most of the rest of us). Letting people know about it is a great start. More travel guides would be superb, but without a cheerleader might get outdated quickly. I think you're right.

Well, I'm hoping we can add more and more countries, we just need people to be the cheerleaders..

re your original question man t, I'm too lazy to do a proper 2 week itinerary, but you should think about heading north to see Salta, and the wine growing region just near there, cafayate is the name of the small town there.

Then you should see Jujuy, a pretty decent sized city.

And of course from Salta you have to go to Pujurmarca, Humahuaca, near the Bolivian border. Great scenery, some famous sights like the mountains with different coloured stripes.

One day I'll post some pics of that.

And in another direction completely, I really liked the city of Mendoza, although the surrounding wine region was a bit disappointing...not quite the same look as the vineyards of France and Italy...I found the people of Mendoza to be very friendly, reminded me of colombians in that regard.

Alguien me puede decir como se suben las fotos a un post, una vez que ya las subi a Tinipic? Por las dudas estoy probando copiar los links. Pero creo que no me da resultado

Ultimo intento. Cualquier cosa, espero q alguien me diga cual de los 4 links de Tinipic hay que copiar. Igualmente si hacen clik sobre los hipervinculos del post anterior pueden ver la foto. Fue la nevada que cayó el 9 de Julio pasado en Buenos Aires.

Bueno ya aprendi a hacerlo. Les voy a preparar fotos de varias ciudades, y a contar en que fechas es mejor ir a cada lugar. Bye

Kat1, me alegra mucho. Solo me permito una correción...Argentina is a country...not a city...Pero no hay problema. Seguro fue un error semántico. A tu disposición para lo que necesites saber. Ok ?
Te cuento que los Soda se juntaron de nuevo, y van a dar 5 conciertos entre Octubre y Noviembre. Es la suerte de vivir en Buenos Aires...jaja.

Depends when you´re visiting. Buenos aires and Iguassu are highlights year round. if it´s summer, best to spend the rest of the time in Patagonia, if it´s winter bettter to go north to salta and mendoza
