One more day. Then I step on a plane and head on the biggest adventure of my life. I will be headed to Buenos Aires within the next 24 hours, and all I want to think about are the hundreds of things that I will be able to do upon arrival. Check them out and you will see why I am so unbelievably excited and ready to go.
In Buenos Aires
La Boca is a neighborhood in the city lined with houses painted in brilliant colors. Although only a small region of the city, it is supposed to be a vibrant and wonderful place to visit.
Le puente de la mujer (Woman’s Bridge) is a brilliant bridge in a redeveloped neighborhood called Puerto Madero. This area used to just be filled with warehouses and is now full of restaurants and night clubs. Who wouldnt want to check it out?!
Calle Florida is my last on Buenos Aires itself. Everyone loves a bit of shopping, and this is a pedestrian only street that is full of shops and entertainment. The most exciting part is the tango dancers that frequent the alley.
In Argentina
Valle de la Luna
I am a climber. That about covers what I want to see anywhere I go. Rocks, Ice, and anything else that I can skillfully scale. So of course this valley of beautiful towers and cliffs tucked into the Andes Mountains is on the top of my list.
Iguazu Falls
These breathtaking falls are north of BsAs and stretch between the border of Argentina and Brazil. This reported must see view just cant be passed up.
Patagonia
This is of course a must see. Patagonia is a region within both Argentina and Chile full of massive mountains and glaciers. Amoung the area is the city of Ushuaia which is commonly called the southern-most city in the world.
In South America
Machu Pichu
I have wanted to see Machu Picchu for years. It is actually one of my top choices to see in the entire world. One of the most magnificent of cities of the Inca, it is full of ancient engineering marvels and a history that cant just be read about. If I only have the chance to leave Argentina once and travel somewhere, it will be Peru to see these ruins.
Amazon Rainforest
If I am going to be in South America, I cant very well leave without seeing the Amazon Rainforest. Finding untamed areas of the world is hard to do in the modern era and the Amazon is one of the last.
Rio de Janeiro
As far as cities go, Rio is definitely on the top of my list, although I will most likely spend as much of my time in the mountains as I can, rather than touring city after city.
Can I leave yet?!
This is just the short list of everything that I want to see in South America, but it is enough of a list to share without boring anyone.
Location: Denver, Colorado
