The last part of my Patagonia trip was a visit to Buenos Aires. Ending my cruise with Australis in Ushuaia, the only way back home with commercial flights is passing by this vibrant city.
A stop in Buenos Aires is a great addition pre or post journey to Patagonia. Full of life, culture, landmarks and great food, there is so much to do and see.
For me the day started with a coffee at one my favorite spots, El Ateneo. By far, this is one of the most beautiful bookstores I have seen on my travels, it not only preserves the original structure of the building, an old theater opened in 1919, but also has a coffee shop where the stage used to be. While having a coffee you can enjoy the view of colorful books arranged in the former orchestra and mezzanine sections.

Another great spot in the city, where I spent my afternoon is the National Museum of Fine Arts, with a fantastic art collection of renowned Argentine and international artists, including works by Goya, Rodin, Rembrandt, Renoir, Degas y Picasso.
The last activity of my day to complete my trip was the La Ventana Dinner & Tango Show. The experience included a round trip transfer from the hotel and a three-course dinner with many options to choose. Almost 30 artists present an energetic performance showcasing skilled dancers and live music, the stage is really close to the public, and truly immerse you in Argentina’s vibrant tango culture, history and folklore. It was the perfect end for my adventure.
Rapa Nui was on my bucket list for a long time so I worried that it would not meet my expectations. Our tour could not have been better. Our guide was knowledgeable and professional with an understanding of the island that made it come alive. I would and have recommended this trip to everyone that will listen.

Mary Curry is the BEST! I have worked with her for multiple family trips for over 10 years, and she is responsive, works within your preferences and budget, has great suggestions and has personal travel experience at many of the locations. We prefer active family vacations and Adventure Life and Mary Curry make sure that is what we get!

My tour operator was helpful. Unfortunately she was unable to get my single-supplement canceled. Not too many tours charge for that anymore and I almost canceled my trip because of that.
