My favorite country outside of the US.

Been twice, including earlier this year. Likely going back next year.

What are the goals for your visit? I bird hunt each time I go and can recommend an outfitter near Buenos Aires.

Do it. Get over to the Andes at some point. Mendoza maybe? That’s wine country. The people are just pretty to look at. And everything is so cheap once you get down there.

Pure first time tourism. Would be with spouse and adult children (no spouses/SOs attending).

If it's anything like Chile, take note of the number of schnitzel restaurants opened about 1947

BA is a great city I have stayed in the Palermo district each time.

Dinner time in the city is around 10PM for the locals. Don Julio is overrated.

I think for the trip next year we will go in November to see the jacaranda trees blooming. Afterwards we will head north to an estancia to shoot doves. Might try to see Iguazu Falls on that trip.

I have a reservation. Hopefully I will like it.

Iguazu is the focus of my trip.

Do you prefer Calafate or El Chalten for base location in Patagonia?

If you like wine I recommend visiting Salta.

El Preferido (DJ’s sister restaurant) is better IMO. If they still have an heirloom tomato carpaccio on the menu you should get it.

Also recommend Agua Asian bites for a sushi river experience.

That is cool that you are going to the falls . Please report back.
