The Argentine North West

Special Tour 13 days Availability: 2020-04-24
Tucuman province, argentina Argentina

This is Spaghetti Western landscape but with Asado sensibilities!

This is the other Argentina, away from the porteño masses is a country reaching out to its Bolivian and Paraguayan neighbours. Where rock-en-espanol and tango gives way to rockolo and cumbia, and where desert meet vineyard supplemented by asados al fresco.

Take your time in this region, get to meet and talk and appreciate a blue sky. Adobe houses, reds, oranges, yellows, a pastel colour orgy of design in textile and tile alike waiting to re invigorate a UK dweller.
