A week ago my mom and I took a trip to Patagonia, the Argentine towns of El Calafate and El Chalten, specifically. In El Chalten, a tiny place that attracts hikers and lovers of the outdoors, we trekked for about 45 minutes and reached this panorama. -Karina

Patagonia’s Tastiest Products part 4: helado The most underrated or overlooked aspect of Argentine gastronomy: helado. Helado is the delectable happy-medium—that perfect halfway point—between traditional, creamy American ice cream and dense, flavorful Italian gelato. Many Bariloche chocolate shops, including Rapa Nui, also serve up helado. My personal favorite is Helados Jauja (pronouched “how-ha”). From the organic farms of El Bolsón come the ingredients for Jauja, and the quality is discernible in each bite: it all tastes fresh and full-flavored. Coming [...]

Two more posts coming, one Thursday, [...]

Patagonia’s Tastiest Products I spent the Christmas holiday in the Patagonia Lake District, about a 20-hour drive south of Buenos Aires. It was the perfect time to be in the area, as the relative cold and snow-capped surrounding mountains gave the place the wintry, festive feel I am used to around Christmas, though it was still early summer. Another major reason I was in my typical holiday spirit was thanks to the rich regional goodies, specifically chocolates. Some of the [...]

That little red dot in the bottom right hand corner? That’s a hut. Antarctica dwarfs all human activity. Even a Frank Lloyd Wright, in place of that little red shack, doesn’t stand a chance against these towers of ice and snow. And this might be the reason why marine biologists, naturalists, geologists, penguin researchers and explorers love Antarctica more than Heidi Montag loves plastic surgery. Our expedition offered a little of everything. Dennis, a marine biologist, reported his findings in [...]
