Cariló: Argentina’s Coastal Forest Town
We pulled onto the sand pathway that leads to nothing but Cariló and the Atlantic Ocean, and I knew one thing: I’d be spending the whole week barefoot. Cariló is tucked away in a manmade forest about 225 miles south of Buenos Aires. Throughout the stay, I kept trying to draw comparisons to familiar places. Culturally, its reminiscent of California’s Carmel-by-the-Sea — think linen pants and crisp white wine and Restoration Hardware. But the sand streets! The beachside forests! The sunrises! Cariló, from the ground up, is unique.

Iguazú: Waterfalls Worth Chasing
I cried when I first saw it. Huddled inside a bouncing raft, we were rounding the bend when Iguazú Falls opened up before us. The waterfall system, divided between Argentina and Brazil, is the largest in the world. Its name “Iguazú” comes from the Guarani or Tupi words meaning “water” and “big.” Straightforward. Accurate. Precisely the only thing on my mind.
Best Empanadas for Delivery in Buenos Aires
Never having lived in the center of a big city, I’m still tickled by the concept of delivery. I place my order on an app, pour a glass of wine and then, like a friend I’ve always wanted, someone on a motorcycle arrives 30 minutes later with my food in hand. But not all deliveries are created equal.
What to Do with 10 Days in Buenos Aires
Whether you’re visiting Buenos Aires or hosting friends for a bit, it can be tricky to pack the best of this city into just ten days.
Steak: It’s Always What’s for Dinner
I would be remiss to begin any conversation about food in Argentina without first discussing its meat. As a longtime vegetarian, I never craved beef, and I considered steak to be the chewy brown stuff best dipped into mashed potatoes or smothered in sauces. And then I moved to Argentina.
First Favorite Places in Buenos Aires
During my first two weeks in Buenos Aires, I lived like an empanada-eating vagabond and did nothing more than check off my list of must-see museums, parks, cafes and city landmarks. Here’s the shortlist.
