Arts and Cultural at Centro Cultural Recoleta

In lay man terms, it is an art museum and it holds some of the interesting masterpieces of Argentina’s artists. I spent more than an hour venturing the area. Some of the work is speechless.

Sea Lions and Imperial Comorants at De Los Lobos Island, Tierra del Fuego, ARGENTINA
It has been years since I’ve seen a sea lion. In fact, I forgot where was the last time I seen a sea lion. Not sure whether it was in Zoo Negara Malaysia or the Singapore Zoo. By the way those were “captive” sea lions, not the wild ones.
Last year, I had a month long trip to Argentina and I traveled to Ushuaia the southernmost city in the world. There, my friends and I took a boat …

Bed & Breakfast Lodging Manekineko at Buenos Aires

Five Brothers Mountain Ushuaia ARGENTINA: Picture Of the Week
Last year while traveling in Argentina, I got the chance to visit the city of the “End of the World”. The reason it is called the end of the world because it is the southernmost city in the world.

It is the closest city to Antarctica and dozens of Antarctica cruises will stop at Ushuaia before proceeds to the Antarctica peninsula via the Beagle Channel.

Behind this beautiful city, lies a very famous mountain among …

Museo Maritime de Ushuaia, ARGENTINA
Despite being the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia bears a unique history of its own. Capital of Tierra del Fuego, province of Argentina; Ushuaia is populated with an estimated one hundred thousand of downright neighborly Argentineans.
My arrival during summer in Ushuaia was welcomed by cooling temperature around 5 to 10 degree Celsius and an ear-popping crowd. As it is the nearest port to Antarctica and key access point to the southern regions, Ushuaia often packed with tourists from all over especially Spain and Chile. It …
