I was blown away by Montevideo this past November. It has that bohemian, artsy vibe that I love about San Telmo but you feel like you are in a beach town. I’d been through the city a number of times on my way to the beaches further east, but I...
From our favorite food blogger ever, I’m reposting her long and fabulous list of great restaurants in Lima, Peru. Because Allie is our favorite food blogger and because Lima!!! We are dying to go there (and eat there). In Love with Lima Part 1:...

Every summer, the city of Buenos Aires puts on a fantastic outdoor festival and music, dance, theater, and cinema called Verano en la Ciudad.
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.

Live folklore shows and a rowdy crowd make La Peña del Colorado one of our favorite spots in town. Argentinean folklore features amazing guitar players with talented criollo singers. Order the pinguino, but make sure you get some soda to go with it.
