Leaving Argentina

Don't cry for us Argentina, and we won't cry for leaving. The country didn't leave any special impression; distances are huge and the landscape varies very little. From all the places we liked Salta and its surroundings the best. We found it easy to travel due to its well-organized bus system and easy-going people. The "latino" stereotype of kids beggin for candies, men whistling for women or trying to talk to every tourist doesn't show in Argentina at all. In general people are polite, strict, and fair. They don't try to give a spiced up price for tourists only, and they also don't want to bargain for a better deal.
