NORTHWEST ARGENTINA: THE REAL
SOUTH AMERICA
by Charlie O'Malley
Argentina is a cultural melting pot, with Buenos Aires having a distinctly European flavor
and Patagonia a Scandinavian hue. That is why the Northwest can be so satisfying to visit
as it is definitely 100% S outh American. The following is a 5-day itinerar y that ensures
that y ou tr uly experience the rich indigenous cultur e of this beautiful r egion with its
strong strain of Spanish colonialism. Grandiose architecture sits well with excellent local
food, washed down with delicious wines. The regional handicrafts are as colorful as the
landscapes, and the people are Argentina's friendliest. To see the most in the shortest time
possible, it is best to hir e a car or go with a r eliable tour company.
