Argentina and Chile

In March we went to South America on a University of Michigan trip. Although I normally enjoy vacation planning and travelling on my own, I must say this was a terrific experience and I would recommend these kinds of trips. Not only did we get to travel with our dear friends, John and Ginger Gajar, but we much enjoyed spending time with the others on the trip and we had a truly perfect guide in Emiliano Rio. Destinations included Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls near the Brazilian border, Bariloche in Patagonia, a gorgeous trans-Andes journey using 3 boats and 4 buses, and then Puerto Varas, Santiago and Valparaiso in Chile. It was a fantastic and educational trip. I even learned the Argentinian National Anthem in Spanish.
