How are things in Argentina these days? We haven’t been since 2019 and I wonder how security/poverty is with the economic crisis etc? I assume obtaining pesos is still a pain?

Can second the recommendation for the drive Salta to Cafayate, probably one of the best days travel I’ve ever done. Lovely glass or two of wine at the end of it as well.

We have been to Argentina for each of the last three years since covid restrictions and it’s not felt very different and we still feel safe wandering around the main parts of the city day and night. In Cafayate where we have spent three weeks in each of the last three years it doesn’t feel different although people are nervous about future funding for education and health. The state has been failing for a long time so the grafters at all levels have become very resilient and self sufficient.

PS Amalaya (the junior brand of Colomé wines which has its own place a few hours away) has opened a great new winery/restaurant in Cafayate!
