Show de tango no La Ventana

A few years ago, Madi in Buenos Aires organized a Colombia adventure for our family, and it was such a blast that we turned to her again for our Patagonia plans. We just returned from nearly three weeks across Argentina and Chile coordinated by Madi and her team, and the whole thing was superb from start to finish. The trip started in Mendoza where we checked out a sculptor’s place and enjoyed a long, amazing homemade lunch with his family—seriously, the food just kept coming! We stayed at Susana Balbo’s hotel, which I’m picky about, but this place was awesome and really unique. The restaurant there was great too, so yes, we still managed dinner after that lunch. Staff was so welcoming—we could’ve hung out at the hotel all day. Next up was meeting another artist and sampling local wines, then a day out in the Uco Valley tasting wines at a beautiful vineyard. Then it was over to Buenos Aires for a few days of sightseeing and food tours. The guides were super helpful—even went out of their way to hunt down a hand cream I’d been told about and brought it to the hotel. That’s above and beyond! Highlights also included the Jewish heritage tour (so interesting) and a lively tango class. Whenever we had a last minute request or wanted to change a dinner spot, the team sorted it out instantly. In El Calafate, we stayed at Eolo and the views were just wild. Sadly, the airline misplaced all our bags and it took a couple days to get them back, but someone from the team actually went out to the airport to make sure they’d get delivered, which is just amazing service. The hiking and excursions were all so much fun—kayaking, exploring dunes, and our guides were a joy to be around. Finally, we drove to Tierra Patagonia in Chile—another jaw-dropping hotel. If you can, go for a suite so you get your own guide. The staff at the hotel were super nice, just lovely folks. This whole trip had everything: fun times, gorgeous places to stay, delicious food, and the team handled every detail, big or small. I can’t imagine planning a trip to Argentina or Chile with anyone else, honestly. If you want a truly memorable, worry-free trip, these are the people to call.

O lugar todo estava lindamente decorado, e o jantar com show de dança nos deu um verdadeiro gostinho da cultura local. O clima estava ótimo, e a equipe, incluindo o Paulo, fez um trabalho excelente para nos deixar bem à vontade. O grupo não era muito grande, o que deixou a noite bem confortável. Tiraram fotos nossas no palco, o que foi muito divertido, embora tenhamos esquecido de pegá-las na saída.

O jantar com show de tango foi uma maneira muito agradável de conhecer um pouco das tradições locais. O espaço era acolhedor, e toda a equipe que trabalha lá proporcionou uma noite superdescontraída. Eles mantiveram o público em um tamanho ideal, então nunca pareceu lotado. Tiraram fotos nossas no palco — uma pena que não pegamos ao sair, mas ainda assim é uma lembrança muito legal.

Tivemos um passeio fantástico — nossa guia Kasandra explicou tudo com muita clareza e nos fez sentir super bem-vindos. O translado e a viagem foram de primeira qualidade, e o motorista Daniel até participou contando detalhes extras. Nós nos divertimos demais e com certeza recomendamos para outras pessoas.

Que lugar incrível! Fatima, nossa guia, foi simplesmente fantástica. Recomendo muito fazer esse passeio se você tiver a oportunidade. Fizemos em inglês e foi impecável.
