This April, we might (may?) finally visit Argentina.  Was thinking:  Buenos Aires (4 nights) → Iguazú (2) -> BA (1)→ Calafate + Chaltén  (5 total) → Buenos Aires (2) → LAX

 

Thoughts?

During the early 2000s, I traveled to Argentina on about five or six occasions.  Each time I had a guide who introduced me to all things cultural.  For those activities in which I engaged after dark-- excepting one time when I had a 3way with escorts during the late afternoon--I obtained via escort sites (fees reasonable but priced higher than the locals).  In my reflecting back on some of my experiences, ALL WERE GREAT!

Stay in Recoleta or Palermo.  The latter barrio was up n coming when my friend and I traveled;  we rented from a gay source who rented fabulous apartments in the various barrios; the price was not exorbitant, and one could invite guests.  In all of the apartments in which I stayed, I had company.

Since it's been a while since I traveled to Buenos Aires with a one day trip to Tigre and to Uruguay, my specifics have dissipated.  Try to stay at least 12 days.  You'd want to spend 2 or perhaps more days at the Falls--go to the Brasilian side for a day.

Aaaaaah--your post brought back some great times that I'd had.  (...went to a woman's house to learn how to make empanadas-- She lived in a small town; ...took a bus from Buenos Aires and I think I might have walked to her house and joined about six other folk.  Once our empanadas had cooked, she served us in her outdoor patio or nice backyard along with wine.  On another occasion--my friend and I went to a gay couples' home and had dinner (prepared and served by the chef); other guests (about five) joined us.

Check out gayguides.com (Argentina or Buenos Aires).  Do a google check for gay apartment rental in Buenos Aires.  

Although I know a lot has changed there because of the worldwide COVID pandemic, try to go and spend 10 or more days.  Get outside of Buenos Aires.  (My friend and I did a lot of vital cultural activities as well as play sexually, and the mix of both made for a spectacular and highly memorable time.  (My friend and I went to all of the barrios; one Saturday we went to San Telmo, walked around, danced in the streets with two women, and had lunch outside in the dead center of one major street and enjoyed, enjoyed, enjoyed.  I keenly remember this, for someone took a photograph of my friend and I dancing in the street with two women.  That photo brings back that time, for my friend created a small book for me of our travels in Rio de Janeiro as well as Buenos Aires.  He died last year, and when I pick up and view those photos in those pages of his creation, salient and important and highly positive memories emerge.

I had a very handsome boyfriend modelling in Paris for Gucci or others high-class brand! Now when I look back, I am sure he was escorting too!

Consult https://gaycities.com.  (Buenos Aires).  If you'd like to stay in gay owned and operated apartments or other lodgings-- do a google search.  ...can't remember the services that I used, but on four different occasions--I rented from it and was indeed quite, quite, quite pleased with the superb professional services that were rendered.

Palermo is a huge neighborhood that is divided up into sub-neighborhoods.  If I went back to BA, I would stay in Palermo SoHo, the most artsy/trendy of the Palermo divisions, might also be the gayest (although many areas of BA are very gay-friendly).  If you’re looking for that upscale Recoleta vibe, I would actually stay in Palermo Chico, where most of the embassies are.

Airbnb offers a few asado experiences, where you not only enjoy some of Argentina’s legendary beef but also learn proper asado technique and some of the history/tradition.  Also, go ahead and see a tango show if you’re a fan.  Sure, they’re for tourists, but the one I went to was fantastic.  Last tip:  try a medialuna (shaped like a croissant but made with brioche dough) with dulce de leche (a milk caramel spread).  I still have dreams about it.  Wait, one more:  ask a local where to find good coffee, because most of the coffee in BA is shockingly bad.

If I recall, there had been a post about the economic issues in Argentina, and that inflation and price changes were an issue for visitors.  Is this still the case?  And would someone need to know a lot of Spanish to get around and enjoy the city and museums, etc?
