Sit back and take a load off weary backpacker, this is Easter weekend. That means all the great vacationing is going on right now. Get out of the city and into - wait, Cordoba! Everyone's favorite travel getaway for Easter are the towns only a few hours away, just like cordoba. It's a great time to enjoy the laid back atmosphere of one of Argentina's most beautiful cities. Estancias, parillas and pick up games of soccer abound. Enjoy the sun and relax in goregous Cordoba!

Cordoba has amazing sites and sounds for the eager backpacker. When you're traveling to Cordoba on your backpacking trip to Argentina, take the opportunity to do some camping. Cordoba has some great hostels to choose from, but you can also enjoy the summer nights by going with a tent and backpack!

Enjoy some of the parks and camp sites around the city.

We wanted to learn a little more about Cordoba and was surprised about how much there was about out favorite tiny little town. Check out what we learned! We couldn't possilby transfer all the great info we took in during our read... but we do believe in knowing something about the places you'll be visiting. Check it out!

Cordoba is the perfect location for summer beach trips. Lots of people from Buenos Aires head to Cordoba to lounge on the river beach. It's a very laid back and great break from the busy city. It's a great way to spend a weekend with friends.

Do you need a hostel in South America? Well, my favorite hosteling network is MiniHostels. You can access their site by going to www.MiniHostels.com. The hostels there are exactly the kind of places you're looking for in a vacation. Sizeable, clean, comfortable and just amazing. No extreme party hostels no super cheap dingy hostels - simply the best. Its my recommendation for anyone traveling and hosteling throughout South America.

Getting to and from Cordoba might seem like a quilomobo, but not when you're utilizing the amazing transit system in Argentina. Traveling to Cordoba is easier than you think from Buenos Aires, Rosario and other pouplar cities. Buses transit to and from Cordoba on the regular. Almost once every half hour! This make getting out there, simple!

If you're looking for a great place for info on Cordoba, travel in Argentina, South America information for travelers and great accommodations - then check out MiniHostels. They're based out of Buenos Aires and they offer the best hosteling accommodations you could ask for. They highlight and advertise the kinds of places that you would book for a week and end up staying for two. I find all my hostels there and would encourage you to do the same. Check it out!

Well, that "weekend trip" from my last entry turned into quite the adventure!  I've been with my friend for the last two weeks doing a spot of traveling instead of heading back to Cordoba, so here I am! 

Right now we're in Nazca staying at the Brabrant Hostal, and we're really enjoying ourselves.  They've got the features we needed as weary travelers, including hot showers 24 hours a day.  They also have a great terrace with hammocks for relaxing after doing your exploring.... Continuar leyendo

My friend is traveling through Peru right now, and I've wanted to meet up with her, but unfortunately she won't be able to make it further south than Cusco.  Solution?  Weekend trip to meet her! 

She's been staying in the Pirwa Backpacker Colonial Hostel, and she told me it's been great so far.  She said it's close to everything, has free breakfast, wifi, kitchen, and a big meeting area where you can chill with other travelers.  She said she found it through... Continuar leyendo
