Buenos Aires
I have been living in Argentina for the past year (plus 5 months in Buenos Aires back in 2005). This is one of my favorite cities in the entire world, and I want to share with you what makes it so great.
This 10 day itinerary begins on a Friday morning, and is arranged according to market schedules, or other events in the city that fall on particular days. But you can certainly do the activities out of order, and fit them to your schedule as needed.
I have planned this 10-day itinerary to allow you to maximize your days, and hours in this amazing city, but still allow you to enjoy the small moments without feeling overwhelmed, and get rest when needed.
I have spent around 100 hours researching, writing descriptions to give detailed information of every place mentioned in this itinerary, visiting and testing out each day; they are all genuine recommendations. I have carefully planned out and timed each activity, including transportation and time moving between sites. I have also linked related articles and videos from my blog and YouTube channel.
This itinerary will provide you not only with daily activities, but information on how to get the best exchange rate, how to stay safe, and information for transportation- how to get from spot to spot, so you can put as little time into planning as possible. Let me do that for you! :)
This is not the ideal itinerary for those seeking the nightlife and parties. It is full of morning, daytime, and evening activities (with a few optional activities that go into the night) to help you get to know the culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina. It does not include nightclubs.
This is a great itinerary if you are coming to Buenos Aires for the first time and you want to see all the important places, along with a few extra gems. This can also serve if you live in the city but have friends and family coming to visit. I've got it all planned out for you!
I have included a lot of walking in this itinerary, though I have attempted to concentrate each day in one particular area of the city whenever possible. However, the city is full of transportation options if you prefer less steps due to accessability issues, or fatigue.
I strongly suggest reading through the entire itinerary at the beginning of the week in case there are places where you need to make a reservation. If so, it will be listed at the top of each day.

Cordoba
Unsure of what to do in the capital of the Province of Córdoba? Well look no further, I’ve got you covered!
Córdoba is the second biggest city in Argentina, but without a lot of the chaos of Buenos Aires. It’s the perfect place for getting that big city fix, but still feel really chilled out.
I spent 3 entire months getting to know this city and what it has to offer. I made several local friends, which is how I discoverd off the beaten path spots. I'm now going to pass those secrets over to you.

Patagonia
This guide will help you to know where to go and when while visiting the Chubut Province in Argentina, which is famous for its wildlife.
Puerto Madryn is the epicenter of wildlife in Argentina. Even though it is a popular local tourist destination, finding reliable info can be a challenge.
I hope to take on that burden for you, and simplify the entire process. In this guide you can find info on what to do within the town of Puerto Maryn, just outside of PM, in the south of PM, and around Peninsula Valdes.

This is the best guide for what to do in the town of Bariloche, just outside, and a bit further out. This guide not only includes the destinations, but also includes information on transportation and detailed info on how to reach each place.
I spent two weeks around the area of Bariloche getting to know the area and trying to find the best of nature, and of course the best of the gastronomical scene!

Salta & Jujuy
The northern Argentine provinces of Salta & Jujuy are something magical. Something special. I spent 5 weeks between Salta & Jujuy with my jaw dropped on the floor, in awe of all the naturual beauty it has to offer.
Before I went north, I had a really hard time finding information on what to do, where to go, even the best towns to stop in. I want to make that easier for you with this guide to Argentina's northern provinces of Salta & Jujuy.
I've included all the best towns to stop in, as well as information on accommodation and transportation between cities.

A lot of people come through Purmamarca, Argentina on a day trip, and some others might spend one or two nights here. I stayed an entire week! Since my guest house only provided breakfast, and didn’t allow us to use the kitchen otherwise, I ate out all my lunches and dinners. I tried my best to go to a new restaurant for each meal. While certain things seem to be slightly more expensive in Purmamarca, such as lodging and laundry, the food prices tend to compare quite nicely to the rest of the region. Wondering where you should eat in Purmamarca? Check out the list below:

The original location is, of course, in Patagonia, just outside of Bariloche. There are several locations within Buenos Aires. This one is next to Plaza Armenia.
There are great vibes here because it’s in a happening part of the city (Palermo). There are various snack/drink deals for sharing.
The beers come with a small bowl of popcorn.

“Wow. Nicki is super knowledgeable about Argentina and actually travel in general. We discussed everything from general safety to the cost of renting an apartment long-term. My biggest takeaway was her ideas for using social media as a resource for learning about the people from the people. Great idea. Real nice gal too.”
-Ray

“My family and I are about to embark on a 3 month trip through Argentina, we had been binge watching youtube videos from Nicki so we scheduled a call to dive deeper. Nicki helped give feedback to our itinerary and gave great local perspective from cell phones to don’t miss desserts. It was super beneficial to get the added insight.“
