I have been a big of Humans of New York (HNY) for a few years now and if you are not following them on Facebook or Instagram, I highly recommend it.  I am always fascinated by the stories that each person has, how much can be seen on their face and the way they hold their body versus what is completely hidden.  There are times that HNY goes on the road and heads to a different country.  Those are the stories that I love the most - so many things are experienced the world over, while some experiences are truly unique to the culture and circumstance of the individual.  I believe to truly know a country, you must know its people.  So here is just a small peek at some of the beautiful people I came across during my stay in Argentina...

Brasero Atlantco is an extension of Floreria Atlantico, the speak-easy next door that is one of the top bars in Buenos Aires.  I loved the small but open space where everything is cooked in a wood-fire oven.  They served the best steak I had during my entire trip, which is pretty impressive given how much I had tried!  Portions are generous, bring a friend.

When traveling to Iguazú, the big decision is whether to stay on the Argentina side or Brazil.  In either country, I was surprised to discover that there are not many high-end lodging options to choose from unless you are willing to go with a bigger hotel chain (which is not really my style).  I luckily came upon this boutique property which was tropical perfection!

The Estancia is a true family stay which means that everything is included in your daily rate - from the lodging to the activities to the amazing meals and drinks you are offered.  I generally do not like 'all-inclusive' types of experiences so my expectation for the food was not high.  But the Beggs, being well traveled themselves, understand how important good food is to discerning visitors.  Los Potreros has a professionally trained chef and assistant who whip up some of the dreamiest things you can imagine. 

Warning: Unless you have really strong willpower, you will gain weight during your stay here BUT isn't that what vacations are for? 

Here is just a small taste of what I experienced...

Buenos Aires is not well known for its tourist sites - no Christ the Redeemer towering over the city or a sparkling Eiffel Tower shining like diamonds in the distance.  Typically you will only hear about their steaks and tango, but believe me there is so much more.  I will be highlighting all my favorite finds on the Blog - from museums to parks to the many colorful neighborhoods of Buenos Aires.  I wanted to first begin with my favorite site of them all...Recoleta Cemetery, hailed as the one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world...it truly is!
