In July, I went to Argentina to cover a story about some volunteers working with the Criollo people of northern Argentina.
First we checked out Buenos Aires. We ate great asado – babeque – went to a gourmet chocolate shop and even got to see a couple tango in the street!
The next day, we met up with the rest of our group and took a car north to a hunting lodge in Esquina, Argentina’s river country.
Because the Criollo people are neither purely indigenous Indians nor purely European immigrants, they are a marginalized people in Argentina. But they’re great hunters, so the volunteers – hunters from Florida – were able to connect with them well.
It was a great trip overall, but seeing a couple tango in the streets of Buenos Aires that first night already made the trip for me.
