Ushuaia. Argentina 15.12.15

Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, it hosted the first same sex marriage in Argentina and it hasn't got a lot of population but the town is prepared for tourism and receive thousands every summer.
We arrived in Ushuaia early in the morning and it took us a long time to find an ATM that would work with our card, but once we did, we took a "combi" (a 17 seat bus) to the national park. The return on the combi costs 300 pesos each and the entry to the national park 170. You can camp in the national park. We stayed in an organised camping for 200 pesos the two of us and you can use toilets and barbecue facilities but you have the option of free camping, there are three areas of free camping and the bus will leave you right at the entrance of these places.

The national park is famous for trekking and it has 4 different trails. All except one of the trails are moderate difficulty, but we recommend that you take appropiate gear and a warm coat, the average temperature in summer is 9 degrees.

We did parts of two trails, walked for about four and a half hours. We did part of the cerro guanaco trail which is the difficult one, and we don't recommend you do this unless you are fit enough and you're fine with walking a really steep trail (the reason why I didn't want to finish it).

Allow two or three days depending on your fitness to do the whole national park by foot. More if you are not happy about walking several hours. Take food and drink from the town centre, because in the park every option is expensive.

If you camp be aware there are animals in the park. During the night we were awaken by wild horses galloping near our tent, and in the morning by falcons. You will also see foxes that don't mind being near humans, but don't feed them! It's in the rules of the park.

Buenos Aires. Argentina 8-14.12.15

We stayed in Buenos Aires for six days, where we saw different areas of the city, so rather than a chronological description, this will be a description by place.
But first things first, Argentina is a mainly Catholic country and upon arrival we were unable to take money out of an ATM. We arrived on Tuesday the 8th of December (a Catholic holiday) and no one had been to work for four days, including the responsibles of filling the ATMs with money, so keep it in mind for any long weekends in BA.
The first two nights of our stay, we were close to the Congress and the political centre of the city, all this area and Plaza de Mayo were crowded with people for the election of the new president. But after the 10th, everything went back to normal and it becomes a really good place to picture and have a picnic. You can see the building where the Pope used to live before he moved to the Vatican, and several other buildings of interest around.

During our next four nights in BA we did couchsurfing with Fede and Cristen, a lovely couple who spent all their free time showing us the charms of the city.

San Telmo, an area full of nice little restaurants, the walk of comics and lots of antique shops is very famous with tourists and if you sit down to have lunch at the main square, like we did, you will be delighted by a tango show. It will be more expensive than other areas since it is specifically prepared for tourists but it is still worth a visit.

Puerto Madero is the most expensive area of Buenos Aires, this business centre has got a museum on a boat that used to go on expeditions to Antartica, streets named after important women of the history of Argentina and a nice little avenue with cafes and ice cream shops.

Recoleta is where the wealthy people live, after Puerto Madero of course, you can recognise this area by the buildings and the people and also by the cemetery which is a tourist attraction!

And Palermo, one of the best areas for nightlife and food, the place sounds Italian, tastes Italian but it contains all the beauty and friendliness of Argentina. In Palermo you will go to the botanical gardens, where you can appreciate different types of roses, you can have a picnic, take a ride on a horse and carriage, go roller skating or take a paddle boat on the river.

In Buenos Aires you can get around by walking or taking the metro (subte), but taxis aren't too expensive, especially if you tell them the way you want to go.

C.A. Talleres 0 v 0 Central Cordoba. Talleres Remedios de Escalada. 8.13.15

We got a taxi to the southof Buenos Aires,  to an area called Lanus where the taxi driver told us to be careful. We had to buy tickets out of the back of a van at 150 pesos each, which isn't bad being a second leg play off final to the promotion from the 4th tier of Argentinian football.

We were two hours early for the game but even this early the atmosphere was great. C.A Talleres was taking a 1-0 lead into the game.

Kick off was soon upon us under the blistering heat and C.A Talleres seemed like they were hungry for promotion with hard tackles and a high work race.

Atmosphere was great throughout the match but the result was a stale mate 0-0 with either teams not creating too many clear cut chances.

The final whistle went and some C.A Talleres fans invaded the pitch to celebrate promotion with the players. Attendance was 10.000
