Our last stop in Uruguay was the picturesque colonial town of Colonia del Sacramento, the first settlement in Uruguay, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We visited the breathtaking Quebrada de Cafayate in northern Argentina, where we found stunning rock formations and saw some of Argentina’s most beautiful scenery.

Odds are, unless you are Chilean or on an unlimited trip, you wouldn’t necessarily visit Valdivia. Here’s what we found when we spent a few days there earlier this year.

This Punta del Diablo hostel was a home away from home. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and have no problems recommending you to stay there, too.

This week’s Polaroid features our new furry friends who we met in the lovely beach town of Punta Del Diablo in Uruguay, where we spent the last few days.

Our Hotel Tip of the Week series offers accommodation tips from around the world. All are places where we have stayed in and personally recommend. This week: Kospi Guesthouse in Bariloche, Argentina.

This week’s Polaroid features a stunning sunset over Santiago de Chile!

We arrived in Buenos Aires last week and realized that to be fully accepted as ‘Porteñas’, we needed to get our very own Mate, a hollowed-out gourd used to drink Yerba Mate.

We highly recommend Hostal CasArte Takubamba in Sucre, Bolivia! A beautiful hostel with an artsy vibe, we found clean and bright rooms here, a sunny courtyard and good breakfast!

Sucre – probably one of Bolivia’s most charming towns, it is heavenly in many ways, but for us our stay turned out to be hell, as well. Find out why…
