A Chunk of Chile with a Dash of South America

Living and travelling in South America from our base in Chile since 1997. I have personally experienced the extremes here, living in a shed without a bathroom in a poor dangerous part of town to the other extreme of having an elegant dinner with the President at the palace. This blog is about things that I have done or that have caught my attention here as well as travel information that may be useful.

Investigative trip to Buenos Aires and Colonia

I have been travelling a lot the last month both inside of Chile and in neighbouring countries both for work and pleasure, and then a bit more work.

On Monday my wife and I got back from a 5-day investigative trip of Buenos Aires, the sprawling capital of Argentina. We had already been there in 2006 with a group of friends to watch an international rugby match, unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side that time. This time we had blue skies the entire time and since there was only the two of us, we could get a lot more done instead of having to do group consultations every half hour about the next move.

Buenos Aires is huge with so many things to keep you entertained and where you can easily get into a lot of trouble (in a good sense). In 5 days we took 648 photos so expect to see some appearing on this blog but mainly in the pages that we will be creating about What to see and do in Buenos Aires.

Here is one for starters:


On the way back from Buenos Aires we heard that Santiago had been hit by heavy rain and cloaked in cold the whole time we were away... great timing!
