If you’ve done an African safari and are wondering what could possibly top it—let me show you Argentina. It’s where I go to reconnect: gliding past capybaras in the Iberá Wetlands, sipping mate on a cliff as whales breach below, or walking among penguins at the edge of the world. But this journey isn’t just about seeing wildlife—it’s about regeneration. You’ll meet the people restoring the land and reclaiming their ancestral ties to it: former hunters turned conservationists, Indigenous cooks preserving culinary traditions, and locals who protect what they once lost. It’s a wild, intimate, and deeply hopeful adventure—one that heals both the place and the traveler.

Buenos Aires is home to the largest Jewish population in Latin America—and some of its richest, most resilient stories. As a proud Jewish-Argentine woman, descendant of Ashkenazi immigrants, I love sharing the complex threads that make up our community: immigration and exile, memory and resistance, tradition and reinvention. Whether you’re here for spiritual connection, family roots, or cultural curiosity, Buenos Aires offers a deeply moving and delicious experience of Jewish life.

Argentina is where raw natural wonder meets cosmopolitan culture—and it’s deeply personal to me as a queer, local guide. I design journeys that honor our layered stories, from Indigenous understandings of gender to contemporary LGBTQIA+ activism, while centering sustainability and regeneration. This itinerary connects travelers not just to iconic sights, but also to communities and landscapes that are healing, resisting, and inviting us to tread more thoughtfully. From the roar of Iguazú Falls to the quiet magic of the Iberá Wetlands and Buenos Aires’s queer nightlife, this is about traveling deeper, with respect, joy, and local insight at every turn.

Buenos Aires is my home, and there’s nowhere quite like it for queer travelers—especially lesbians and queer women looking to immerse themselves in vibrant local culture. As a queer woman myself and a long-standing, award-winning member of IGLTA, I’m passionate about showing travelers the real Buenos Aires: inclusive, layered, artistic, and alive late into the night. For me, it’s about reclaiming space, celebrating difference, and connecting over mate in a sunny plaza. Let me show you how to experience Buenos Aires the way locals—and queer locals—love it most.

Buenos Aires is layered, complex, and shaped by Black history that’s often overlooked. As a local who finds beauty in our country’s diverse heritage, I’m committed to making those stories visible—honoring the legacy of Afro-Argentines and celebrating the vibrant contemporary Black culture here. From monuments and museums to drumming circles and nightlife, this city rewards travelers who want to dig deeper. Let me help you experience the Buenos Aires that embraces Black heritage with pride.
