Welcome to the archives of CoHo! Here’s our collection of articles, guides and much more from the time we spent in Argentina.
South America is full of amazing places to visit and Iguazu Falls is definitely among the top ten worth including in your itinerary. Comfortably sitting on the border between Argentina & Brazil, this natural wonder is one of the most visited destinations of the southern continent. Spending a day visiting the place will give you…

Most of the times, travellers find themselves at the Triple Frontier because they’re planning a visit to the majestic Iguazu Falls. Said falls, have been fought over for several years until it was decided that each country (Argentina, Brasil & Paraguay) should have a share of it. Nowadays, the term “Triple Frontier” simply refers to…

Buenos Aires is contagious. Not in a bad way, of course, we absolutely loved the argentinian capital. It can truly be taunting at first but once you get the hang of the city vibe, you literally hit the jackpot. Wandering the city parks, buying vintage in San Telmo, finding the right spot to sip some…

South America is home to a vast array of wildlife mostly living in or around the biggest ecological hotspot in the world a.k.a. the Amazon. Nonetheless, this part of the continent also features an incredible variety of sea-life enjoying its rich coastlines. Over the years, efforts made by governments to transform habitats into protected national…

Let’s be honest here, seeing penguins in the wild is cool. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t love their cuteness, walking spirit or funny behaviour. Go back to the times you visited a zoo, kid or adult likewise, and try think if you could do anything but smile in front of the penguin enclosure….

Argentina is a big ass country. When you look at the map of South America, together with Brasil it doesn’t really leave much space for anything else! Nonetheless, if you happen to travel on the famous Ruta 3, you’ll see that there’s not really “much” to see. From Rio Gallegos to Buenos Aires, chances are…

In Patagonia there’s nothing more iconic than the Carretera Austral. Start with the Ruta 7, then Ruta 40 in Argentina, Ruta 9 back to Chile, Ruta 257 until the border and pick the Ruta 3 for the last bit. Probably, all of us have travelled along this route to get to the World’s End and…

On the footsteps of Bruce Chatwin, whose book “In Patagonia” has continuously inspired us, we finally made it to the End of the World. Strolling around the backstreets of La Habana felt like yesterday yet today, we’re in the southernmost city of the continent. What a long way we came! Nowadays, the city of Ushuaia…

The Glacier Perito Moreno is, without a doubt, the most visited attraction of Argentina. Even as a national tourist, having a photo of your family at the glacier hanging on a wall is a must. Patagonia has a lot of glaciers here and there but the easy-accessible Perito Moreno really does take up the role…

Even though days are longer in Patagonia, you always have the feeling you’d need more hours. After wandering the chilean fjords, climbing active volcanoes, passing through stunning landscapes, seeing winter-versions of llamas and hiking among glaciers – nobody want to acknowledge it but it’s already Christmas Eve. Time literally flies by when you’re having a…

Who doesn’t love camping? Having a laugh while setting up your tent, cooking marshmallows over a campfire or waking up early to catch the best sunrise ever. Camping is a great experience for everyone. On top of being a cheap (sometimes free) way to sleep, often is also your only choice to visit some less-explored…

Before spending a good deal of time trekking & camping within the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares (PNLG), we didn’t know you could consider glaciers a common sight. Even though Patagonia is vast, there are not many places where you can trek among those icy giants but El Chalten – the argentinian capital for trekking –…

Let’s say that our welcome to El Chalten was not one of the warmest. Literally. Have you ever wondered which cafe or bakery open the earliest in town? Neither did we. Or at least, not before being dropped off at the bus terminal station at about 5am on a freezing morning. It was not until…

A common mistake travellers do while planning a trip to Patagonia is not taking in consideration border crossing. Even though Patagonia is a region of South America, this doesn’t mean it all belongs to the same country. For years, Patagonia has been divided into territories of Chile and Argentina, both having different landscapes and people….
