A very important a relevant part of Felipe's roots is from Jujuy (from his father side, Federico). If you visit Jujuy, please consider to stay in the historical family's house, which is now turned into a hotel: https://www.instagram.com/lasaladeyolanda/?hl=es

Other Places
- Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego), southernmost city in the World
- Puerto Madryn (Chubut), Patagonia, marine wildlife and water activities. Have in mind whale watching season usually ends around mid-December so you might not see them.
- Esteros del Iberá (Corrientes), wetland with diverse wildlife
- Córdoba (Córdoba), Argentina's second-largest city, colonial buildings, vibrant cultural scene, and surrounding natural beauty
- Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires).
- Punta del Este (Uruguay), glamorous coastal city known for its beaches, vibrant nightlife, and luxurious amenities. You can get there by boat + bus or by plane.
Traveling through Argentina
Argentina is quite extensive, therefore distancies from Buenos Aires to these places are more than 1000 kms. There are several daily flights from Buenos Aires (both Aeroparque and Ezeiza airports, although we recommend to travel from-to Aeroparque which is closer to the city and way easier to access). Normally, 3 airlines operate those routes (Aerolíneas Argentinas, JetSmart and Flybondi). For the available travel time, our suggestion is to try to avoid Flybondi as they often have big delays and cancelations.
Once in the destination, you can easily book a car in the most common worldwide car rentals (Hertz, Sixt, etc) and local ones. We particularly recommend booking a car in the Patagonia and Salta region as its part of the beauty to drive around enjoying the magnificent views. You can also book tours that include transfer from hotels. For Mendoza in particular, have in mind distances from vineyard to vineyard are long: either choose a designated driver to drink a bit less through out the tours or consider a private choffer.
Uber is available in Bariloche, Mendoza, Salta and Jujuy while Cabify operates in Mendoza. Also, both operate in other big cities of Argentina (Córdoba, Rosario, Mar del Plata, Corrientes, Resistencia and Tucumán, among others).
