Road Trip Driving Route September 2024 Argentina

Our Trans-Americas Journey ( trans-americas... ) began the month of September 2024 in the Uco Valley of Mendoza Province at the base of the Andes and ended the month on the other side of Argentina, in Buenos Aires. In total, we drove 1,718 miles (2,765 km) during March 2024. Here are highlights from our September 2024 road trip in Argentina.
We started the month in the Uco Valley of Mendoza Province and first went to Mendoza city. We left Mendoza and started driving toward Buenos Aires first crossing the neighboring province of San Luis with a quick stop at the Gruta Incahuasi cave and the disappointing Casa Piedra Pintada pictoglyphs San Luis Province. Continuing onto Córdoba Province we crossed the Sierras Grandes mountains and did some hiking in Quebrada Condorito Condorito National Park where we saw many of the namesake Andean condors. Crossing Córdoba we briefly stopped at Laguna Mar Chiquita, the largest naturally occurring saline lake in Argentina.
We then entered Santa Fe Province where our first stop was Moisés Ville, a town founded in 1889 by Eastern European and Russian Jews escaping pogroms and persecution. These settlers were known as Jewish gauchos and this tiny town in the middle of Argentina's agricultural center has an interesting museum as well as several synagogues and a Jewish cemetery. From there we made our first visit to the city of Santa Fe, the capital of Santa Fe Province, then onto the nearby city of Rosario. Rosario, the 3rd largest city in Argentina is also the birthplace of the national hero, Leonel Messi.
From Rosario we entered Buenos Aires Province where we spent the last part of September exploring San Antonio de Areco, Mercedes, Lujan, and Salto before heading to the capital city, Buenos Aires.
I'm sorry, the video files for the last few days around BA Province got corrupted so this video only goes through San Antonio de Areco
