Rowdy folklore and dancing, skillful horsemanship, manly gauchos (Argentinean cowboys), inexhaustible amounts of grilled meat, empanadas, and other regional foods, fairly priced and beautifully handcrafted arts & crafts. Oh, yes. I do love the Feria de Mataderos. It’s one of my favorite Sunday activities in Buenos Aires. Watch our video to see if you want to add Mataderos to your list of things to do in Buenos Aires.

Colonia del Sacramento for the Day

Colonia del Sacramento

This lovely colonial town in Uruguay is the perfect day trip from Buenos Aires. I wouldn’t recommend staying longer than a day. In fact, you could take the ferry in the morning and come back in the evening. But Colonia is well worth a visit.

She wrote a post, “Eating Out, Porteño Style,”  on her blog, Buen Provecho, about the culinary treats she found while traveling in Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay.

No Beef

in eat,know

Butcher shops are empty. The beef aisles in the supermarkets are bare. If restaurants are serving beef, it’s likely from frozen stashes. The two-week farmer’s strike which threatens to leave the markets not just without beef, but without dairy and other staples doesn’t seem to have an end in sight. Farmers have blocked the roads and stopped [...]
