Teresa and I took a 2 week trip in Sept.-Oct. 2004 to visit northen Argentina before we went to our annual conference with all of our local operators in South America. I don't know which I like more - the northern or southern parts. They are both beautiful in their own way. The northern part has more of an indigenous influence, which I like. A couple of things they both have in common are friendly people, wonderful scenery and good food.
