Years ago when Michael and I started to envision our lives as empty nesters, he shared with me his dream of traveling through Argentina once he retired, in Che Guevara fashion. I too have been inspired to choose destinations from books or movies and in M’s case, it was “The Motorcycle Diaries.”
Today, we are making his dream come true not on a motorbike like Che did, but in Travels with Tesa’s way. Yes, dreams do come true.
where we’re going
Buenos Aires - for art, culture history and tango
Mendoza - for Malbec
Patagonia - starting in Bariloche to Ushuaia
Bariloche - the Lake District
El Calafate - trekking the Glacier
El Chalten - Trekking Capital of Argentina
Ushuaia - The End of the World
