When you are traveling with kids it is important to find balance. It can be challenging to keep everyone happy, which is why we always do our research about what child friendly activities are available in each location we visit.

Best and Worst of Argentina Travel
Last night, as we sat around our dinner table in Peru, we did some reflection about our favourite (and least favourite) places that we have visited so far.

The Ups and Downs of Bariloche, Argentina
Bariloche was our first introduction to Patagonia, and god damn, we were so excited.

The best family friendly hikes around El Chalten, Argentina
There are four family friendly day hikes that depart from El Chalten, all of which are in the 6km – 8km range. All but one of the hikes do involve a bit of uphill, but our 4 year old was able to complete them all with only minimal assistance.
