The BA Scavenger Hunt Part – I

About Chile

This long and extremely narrow strip between the Andes mountains and the Pacific Ocean encloses a wide array of ski resorts, volcanoes, beaches, fjords, altiplano lakes, glaciers and even a desert presented in a very dramatic version.

Immerse in the ancient indigenous culture, enjoy world re known seafood, beef, and wine.

Punta Arenas

The southernmost city in Chile, overlooks the Straits of Magellan. This urban center in the Magallanes region is tax free, making it a perfect shopping destination that will also mesmerize you with its charm.

Torres del Paine

Across and over the Andes Mountains from the Argentinean Glaciers National Park on the Chilean territory sits Torres del Paine, a breathtaking National Park to enjoy great hiking, horse back riding, climbing, mountaineering, kayaking and rafting.

Fiordos

An extended section of Chilean’s coastline exposes countless fjords diving into the Pacific Ocean in a dramatic and explosive way.

This area is of difficult land access and most travelers navigate the Pacific waters marveling with this beauty.

Atacama

Between the Pacific Ocean and the Cordillera de los Andes, Atacama is an immense extension of land and mystery and the world’s driest desert.

Home of pre-Columbian Andean cultures of South America, enjoy its volcanoes, salt flats and hot springs that add natural splendor to the culture. Atacama is the closest you can get to the Milky Way.

About Uruguay

Uruguay is owner to possibly the most stunning beaches in South America, this country holds charming little towns that reminisce the old days in which people, young and old carry around the traditional Mate everywhere they go.

This laid back tiny yet extremely charming country is home of beautiful grassy pampas, good beef and a emblematic red wine, the Tannat.

Colonia del Sacramento

Steeped in history, it was founded in 1680 and was a focus of struggle between the Spanish and the Portuguese over control of the area.

With most houses built in Portuguese style on cobblestoned streets, this historic and gourgeous portion of Colonia is reminiscent of old Lisbon with many art and craft shops.

Carmelo

On the shores of limpid Rìo de la Plata, Carmelo is one of the most emblematic cities in Uruguay.

This small town offers the charming atmosphere of time gone by, where you will find men driving carts pulled by horses around Independence Square.

Punta del Este

South America’s Saint Tropez is an upscale resort on the southern tip of Uruguay that still manages to keep the feel of a small beach village. This charming town has twenty miles of pristine beaches. Local Urugaian and Argentinean enjoy their summer holidays in trendy “Punta”.

Taste exquisite signature cuisine at the hippest restaurants in Jose Ignacio, and enjoy a glittery night life and great shopping at La Barra!

Tour Guide Buenos Aires Part – II

BA Casual Outings with LoliDelger

I personally drive the guests in a half or full day casual trip in Buenos Aires. The idea is to experience BA from the hand of a local. Much as when visiting a city and having a friend in town that shows you around the highlights and his own personal favorite spots. This way you get to see and feel the place with authenticity , and access places it is difficult to get to as a foreigner.

Together with the guest and according to his sole needs and expectations and his own knowledge of the city, I create a tailor made trip, with the flexibility of adapting it as needed, resulting in spontaneous outings that allows to experience Buenos Aires in a fun and off the beaten path way. There is nothing fixed about these trips. Transportation is by car, walking, by using public transportation, or with a combination of these, according to the guests’ choice and the practical aspect of it. There are not two identical outings as each one is absolutely personalized.

I create tailor made trips in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay as well. I help clients with their plans and recommendations to see the city and the countries mentioned in a great way and molded to the client’s needs. I invite you to check out my Private Concierge web site for further information, http://www.thehummingbirdtrip.com

Below I describe 4 recent outings I’ve done with clients from different parts of the world, tailored according to the client’s interests and knowledge of the city.

1) Visit to an incredible contemporary jewelry artist followed by a gourmet lunch at one of BA’s famed chef’s private home, in a little town filled with tradition, 100km outside of BA.

2) Navigate the channels and lunch at a great restaurant in the Delta del Parana plus shopping at El Tigre, and drive through the bushy northern BA neighborhoods.

3) For a NY couple, BA connoisseurs, I created an outing in 3 unknown neighborhoods that included: lunch of a traditional and exquisite local Picada at an old Bodegón in a south of the city hood, visit to an active altar, built by its fans, of a legendary character of Argentina’s popular culture , nowadays object of religious devotion, located in a charming northern neighborhood, plus afternoon visit to one of BA’s few active food markets left, in another off the beaten path hood.

4) Dynamic walking outing with a first timer Egyptian visitor, to the main historical quarters of the city and some other beautiful and traditional adjacent neighborhoods, plus late casual lunch at an Italian Cantina in a charming northern residential neighborhood.
