Central and Northwest Argentina Slideshow Our second summer trip to Argentina. Landing and departing from Buenos Aires allowed us to extend our search - for another summer - for the best steaks and  helado (ice cream) in town.  Between meals, we squeezed in an overnight stay in Colonia, Uruguay. From BA, we flew to San Juan to catch an two-day excursion to the otherworldly national parks of Valle de la Luna and Talampaya. Then bounced over to Mendoza - the wine capital of the country - and endured three rain-soaked days before retreating to the sunny Northwest. We traveled up to Jujuy and Humahuaca (our second visit to the town) mainly to access the remote village of Iruya.
