Antarctica is a once in a lifetime, unique and amazing travel opportunity. Yet, most people forget that any destination can hold that effect. I feel like Argentina is often overlooked in this regard, especially for those interested in the last continent. There are any number of excuses to not include Argentina in your itinerary; time, money, lack of interest, etc. But think again!
Even if you don’t have the time or money to do a full tour of Argentina, take advantage of every place you have to stop there in conjunction with your cruise. Almost any single international connection will bring you through the capital of Buenos Aires. I'm glad Meg and I stopped to have a day and tour the city. I found myself so much more fascinated than I expected to be and enjoyed so much of the gastronomy of the city I probably gained five pounds this day alone. Some of our favorite dishes we had were empanadas, various meats (especially steak), some local beers and gelato (Rapanui in Buenos Aires is terrific)!
Not only did Buenos Aires seem to have more to offer, (I'm still mad I didn't put Meg in some tango shoes), hearing more about the rest of the country got me ready to plan the next trip before I even left.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
