Toby and Sarena didn't really know what to expect from Argentina before visiting. What they found was a country of culture, style, immense beauty. Plus it was extremely cheap which is always a bonus. Such a huge country would take years to discover so Toby and Sarena concentrated on some of the more unique aspects of Argentina...

...Americas Highest Mountain
Just over the border from Chile in the middle of the Andes lies Aconcagua the Highest mountain in the Americas. Toby wasn't quite prepared to climb it but managed to take a short walk of the main highway to the base of the mountain for some great views and much needed fresh air. read diary

...Tango in Buenos Aires
The Argentineans are very proud of their form of dance. So much so that you can not escape it in the very cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires. Deciding to join in this culture Toby and Sarena dressed up in their best jeans and t-shirts for a ritzy night out at a show and dinner. The Dancing was totally amazing and un believable that they all got away with no serious injury. read diary

...City of the Dead
Just to feed Sarena's morbid fascinations. Buenos Aires socialite cemetery was paid a visit. This massive mausoleum to The country's rich and famous is a must. The thousands of crypts and tombs would actually take days to look at individually. The cemetery is even the resting place of Eva Peron (Evita). read diary
