5 Days in Buenos Aires: the itinerary locals would give you

5 days in Buenos Aires works best as three plus two: the classic barrios first, then a day out of the city and a day that is mostly lunch. Adding a fourth neighbourhood is what makes a five-day trip start to feel like a chore.

Cusco and Machu Picchu in 5 days without altitude sickness

Sleep your first night lower than Cusco if the flights allow it, because altitude sickness is driven by the elevation you sleep at. The Sacred Valley is about 600 m below the city and inside the band the CDC recommends for staging. Machu Picchu is lower again. Cusco is the high point of this trip, not its front door.

Iguazu Falls in 3 days: both sides, without rushing

Three days. One for the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls, where the walkways run for kilometres and the water gets close enough to soak you. One for the Brazilian panorama. Half a day spare for the boat or the bird park. The two sides are separate countries, so the crossing takes part of a day.

Paying in Argentina: cards, cash and the 21% refund

Paying in Argentina is simplest with a foreign card: it settles at the financial rate and it is the only way to get the 21% hotel VAT back. Cash in pesos is for taxis, tips and market stalls. Carrying dollars to change on the street stopped being the clever move when the controls came off.

3 days in Buenos Aires: a realistic itinerary with prices

What happens at a real Argentine asado, course by course

A real Argentine asado takes about three hours, follows a fixed order and is cooked by one person over embers rather than flame. It opens with sausages and grilled cheese, moves through offal, and only reaches the main cuts once everybody has been standing around talking for an hour. A restaurant parrilla sells you the meat. An asado sells you the afternoon.

Argentine empanadas: the regional guide and how to make them
